Graduate Energy Engineer
We are looking for a Graduate to join our Energy team in either our Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester or London office. With a world-class reputation, our creativity and our people have delivered positive change to clients, the environment, and communities alike. If you want to be part of something bigger, this is your chance.
Join our Energy Consulting team
An exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Energy Graduate to join our Edinburgh, Manchester, Leeds or London teams. This role will see you consulting on energy use in individual buildings through to national level energy strategy.
We have three Energy Consulting Graduate roles available for an Autumn 2025 start.
Our energy consulting work extends from single buildings and campus scale projects through to district, regional and national level assessment. We're passionate about guiding clients towards low carbon, low-cost solutions that are suited to the challenges we face due to climate change.
The energy consulting team is multi-disciplinary with engineers, analysts, consultants, and geographers working together to develop solutions to problems that need imagination, deep knowledge of existing and new technology, design expertise and computational skillsets.
What sort of projects will I work on?
We are one of the few consultant Energy teams that offer opportunities to work at the full scale of projects both nationally and internationally, including:
1. National spatial analytics using innovative techniques in mapping and big data
2. District energy feasibility studies, re-configuring the way we generate, distribute and use energy
3. Campus scale systems; modelling, designing and helping our client transition to net zero carbon
4. Building retrofit; trading off the potential to reuse our existing building versus building new.
We work on projects throughout the lifecycle from research to concept to design to implementation, including optimising and decarbonising legacy systems.
What will I do?
* Contribute to live projects from the start and have real responsibilities and deadlines; advise clients, other engineers, architects and urban planners on holistic solutions
* Specific project exposure will include district energy projects and masterplan development including Energy Centre design, load calculations, conventional and renewable technologies and energy policy
* Work alongside experienced engineering colleagues and attend client meetings
* Make an impact from the start and manage your workload
* Undertake testing, reporting and presentations to develop design concepts. Think 'outside the box' to demonstrate creativity and diversity when approaching engineering problems to arrive at workable solutions
* Engage in Energy team activities so you feel ownership for its success; being at the centre of our online presence and technical development.
We would like to hear from you if you are studying (or have graduated) in any of the below degrees:
* Hold an Energy-related engineering degree (e.g. energy, mechanical, chemical, electrical, or civil), or environmental science with spatial analytical skills and energy considerations.
* Passionate about engineering design, sustainability, research and making a meaningful contribution to society
* Proactive in taking initiative
* Thrive in a team environment
* Good written and verbal communication skills
* Highly motivated and committed to professional development.
