We’re looking for Mechanical Engineering Graduates to start their career journey in our Utilities business. 

Our Graduate Mechanical Engineers work on site solving real problems every day.

• A buddy who may be a current or recent Graduate, there to help you with those day-to-day questions
• A regional welcome and annual Grad Camp so you can network with graduates from your cohort and senior leaders in our business.
