Graduate Civil Engineer Location: Gateshead Salary: £28,000 - £34,000
Are you a Graduate Civil Engineer looking to start your career in the water sector? This Gateshead role offers hands-on experience across water and wastewater projects, structured professional development and a clear pathway towards Chartership within a smaller, growing consultancy.
The Opportunity
A growing engineering consultancy is looking for a Graduate Civil Engineer to join its Gateshead team. You will work alongside experienced engineers and other disciplines, supporting the planning and design of water and wastewater infrastructure while developing your technical skills.
Key Responsibilities
- Support civil design across water and wastewater projects
- Assist with drawings, calculations, reports and design documentation
- Work alongside civil, mechanical, electrical and process engineers
- Develop your understanding of water infrastructure and hydraulic principles
- Apply CDM and health and safety requirements to project work
- Develop experience with engineering design software and digital tools
- Support project teams through different stages of design and delivery
Candidate Requirements
- Degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline
- Interest in water, wastewater, utilities or infrastructure
- Good understanding of core civil engineering principles
- Familiarity with engineering design software or digital tools
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Commitment to professional development and working towards Chartership
Why Apply?
This Graduate Civil Engineer role offers structured development within a growing water consultancy rather than simply a first job. The salary is £28,000 - £34,000, alongside Chartership support, discretionary bonus, pension, 25 days' holiday, life insurance, professional membership and flexible working.
Eligibility to Apply
Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available.
If this role feels close but not quite perfect, please do not be put off from applying. I specialise in Civil Engineering, Water and Flood Risk recruitment and may also be able to help with other suitable roles that are not currently advertised.
