Graduate Engineering Manager

What you'll be doing

As a Graduate Engineering Manager with an electrical engineering degree, you'll coordinate and deliver engineering activities supporting major infrastructure, industrial, and energy projects. You will work alongside experienced engineers, project managers, and multidisciplinary teams, applying your academic knowledge in a practical environment while developing technical, leadership, and project management skills.

You will support the planning, coordination, and monitoring of engineering work, ensuring technical requirements, project schedules, quality standards, and health and safety requirements are met. Through a structured graduate development programme, you'll gain experience across the project lifecycle, develop your understanding of engineering delivery and team coordination, and build the knowledge and experience needed to progress towards professional accreditation and a career in engineering management.

• Working with electrical engineers and multidisciplinary teams to coordinate technical requirements, engineering deliverables, and project activities.
• Reviewing engineering designs, drawings, specifications, calculations, and technical documentation.
• Monitoring engineering progress, identifying potential risks, resolving issues, and supporting effective solutions.
• Ensuring engineering activities comply with industry standards, technical regulations, health and safety requirements, and company procedures.
• Collaborating with project managers, design teams, construction teams, suppliers, contractors, and other stakeholders.
• Supporting the coordination of procurement, equipment specifications, technical submissions, and supplier information.
• Contributing to project planning, resource management, progress reporting, and the coordination of engineering deliverables.
• Supporting design reviews, technical meetings, risk assessments, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Assisting with the coordination of installation, testing, commissioning, and handover activities for electrical power systems and infrastructure.
• Applying digital engineering tools, data analysis, and project management systems.
• Contributing to the development of safe, reliable, efficient, and sustainable power infrastructure solutions.
• Taking ownership of your ongoing professional development, working towards chartership and developing technical, commercial, project management, and leadership capabilities.
