The Energy unit delivers services to clients globally across several sectors including hydropower, nuclear, thermal, waste, renewable generation, and transmission & distribution networks. Together we provide integrated engineering and project management services across the project lifecycle - from concept and design to construction and operations, to decommissioning or repowering and life extension. Together with our clients, we’re helping to deliver the energy transition globally.

Imagine what it would be like to provide civil design support to high profile projects such as the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Converter stations, Substations and Power Tunnels. Well, join us and you’ll be doing just that. Our teams work on a range of large-scale projects providing support such as general energy projects, transmission and distribution, power generation, renewable energy and nuclear power.

Now more than ever, our environment and communities need to be made more resilient in the face of climate change. Working on every facet of development, our civil engineers aim to solve this by offering the opportunity to create better cities, reduce poverty and improve health.

Working alongside our experts, you’ll play a part in safeguarding natural resources. Using sustainability as a focus, you’ll be creating economic and social growth for generations to come.

This opportunity is in our Transmission and Distribution team:
Our team’s focus is ensuring energy remains accessible to all, and that energy networks can operate efficiently. As the UK push towards Net Zero, there is rapid expansion required to these existing networks and infrastructure along with providing the existing ones with the integrity to meet these ambitious targets. Join this team and you’ll be working on large scale investment plans to assure that the networks will have the capacity to meet these demands whilst focusing on the integration of clean energy sources, ensuring the resilience of the existing network and further exportation of renewable sources between countries through subsea HVDC connections. You will be immersed within a forward-thinking team and help solve current industry challenges.

We are looking for graduates with the following characteristics:

- Methodical approach to problem solving.
- Ability to use your initiative to undertake tasks efficiently and independently.
- Excellent verbal communication skills, which allow you to confidently liaise with clients and team members.
- Excellent written communication and attention to detail.
- Fluent in Spanish and English.
- Willingness to travel short and long term.

As we want the best people for the role, we support flexible working. Please ask us at interview stage about any flexibility you may need.
