About the Role
Building Services Engineering at Ramboll UK focuses on designing and implementing innovative, sustainable, and efficient systems within buildings to enhance comfort, productivity, and energy performance. Ramboll's multidisciplinary team of engineers and specialists strives to integrate advanced technologies and practices in areas such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), electrical systems, lighting, plumbing, and fire protection. By prioritizing sustainability, Ramboll aims to reduce the environmental impact of buildings through optimized energy use, renewable energy solutions, and smart building technologies.
Our approach is characterised by collaboration with architects, developers, project managers and a variety of stakeholders to ensure that the engineered solutions align with the overall vision and objectives of the project. Ramboll UK leverages digital tools and Building Information Modelling (BIM) to achieve precision and efficiency throughout the design and construction phases. Our commitment to delivering high-quality, future-proof buildings has positioned Ramboll as a leader in the industry, contributing to many landmark projects and improvements in the built environment across the region.
As a graduate engineer at Ramboll, you will be directly involved in some of the UK’s most innovative and complex projects. Each day as a graduate will provide you with new opportunities and challenges, making no two days feel the same. You will be involved in the design and delivery of buildings, including the component parts of the structure and associated infrastructure, monitoring implementation through the entire project lifecycle, from initial concepts to visits on site.
You will become part of the Buildings Department, which houses Structures, Civil, Mechanical & Electrical, Facades, Acoustics and many more disciplines. Your role will allow you to collaborate with all disciplines, providing growth and knowledge to increase engineering competence.
As ‘the Partner for Sustainable Change’ we put sustainability at the forefront of our projects. We encourage our employees to go above and beyond current sustainable practices to provide our projects with relevant sustainable change.
