Graduate Engineers

We blend the expertise of senior engineers with the creativity and energy of younger engineers and students, in a friendly, fun and creative environment. We are looking for graduates who enjoy learning about multiple technologies, can think laterally and enjoy a technically challenging environment. 

Successful applicants will join a great team of mechanical, control systems/software and electrical engineers. 

We provide an exceptional professional development opportunity, where you can grow your skills and knowledge within our award winning Graduate Development Programme.

We need people with a passion for discovering solutions to complex and challenging technical problems, therefore a blend of hands-on practicality along with academic attainment is beneficial. The people we are looking for like to be given responsibility and enjoy a wide variety of work; this allows high performers to development quickly. 

If you like the idea of working in a committed, professional team environment, then this would be a good opportunity to use and grow your skills. We are looking for people who are commercially aware, customer focused and keen to progress quickly to larger projects with more responsibility. 

The best applicants will have a blend of hands on practicality with exceptional academic attainment, to solve real world engineering problems efficiently. We solve a range of novel engineering machine system problems, and our people develop a broad engineering capability and strong innovation skills. 

A technically bold person will soon gain credibility with clients and colleagues, and there is flexibility to gain specialist expertise in areas of mutual interest. Of course, we are looking for team players who can communicate adequately and have good humour.
