Graduate Civil Engineer

We're working with a well-established contractor to find a Graduate Civil Engineer to join their marine and civils division. This is a broad, hands-on role giving you exposure across the full project lifecycle, from planning and mobilisation through construction and handover. The project scope typically involves surveying work, sheet piled solutions, demolition, piling works, welding and defence. Projects will range in value from £100k to £2.5m, giving you varied and meaningful experience from day one. This position is fully office based, giving you a genuine work-life balance that's rare in construction. Rather than being tied to site hours, early starts, or overnight travel, you'll coordinate your own diary and visit projects and clients at times that suit the programme and your schedule. You'll operate from a professional office environment, developing your skills and knowledge. Site visits are purposeful and planned, not a daily obligation. This position is well suited to a recent graduate or someone in the early stages of their civil engineering career who is eager to build experience across a varied marine and civils portfolio in a supportive, office-based environment. You will work closely alongside experienced Project Managers gaining exposure to the commercial aspects of project delivery including forecasts, compensation events and contractual obligations. You'll develop your understanding of site team coordination, subcontractor management and client relationships, with plenty of mentorship and guidance along the way. Experience and skills needed: * A degree or HNC/HND in Civil Engineering or a related construction discipline * Some exposure to NEC3/NEC4 contracts is advantageous but not essential * An interest in or some experience of civils, marine or environmental projects * A willingness to learn commercial principles including forecasting, valuations and change management * Strong communication skills and a collaborative, proactive attitude * Full UK Driving Licence This role offers an excellent platform for long-term progression. You will work closely with senior leadership from an early stage and have the opportunity to play an active role in wider business development, including bids and tenders, as your career develops
