Graduate Electrical Engineer

Graduate Electrical Engineer: The following outlines a typical approach to foundational training in your discipline; however, business needs, project opportunities, and your individual development goals may influence the scope and sequencing of your training. During your first year, you will develop skills in: • Electrical engineering design for building projects • Applying engineering principles to support sustainable and low-carbon design • Delivering projects using BIM workflows • AutoCAD and Revit • Electrical load assessments, circuit design, cable sizing, and lighting calculations • Using AECOM’s Technical Practice Network • Navigating relevant industry codes, standards, and guidance documents • Completing mandatory health, safety, and compliance training • Applying AECOM standards, symbols, and design procedures Job Responsibilities As a Graduate Electrical Engineer, you will contribute to the delivery of building services projects from concept through to completion, working as part of a multidisciplinary team under the guidance of experienced engineers. You will gain hands-on experience in electrical design, technical coordination, project delivery, and site activities, while developing the skills and knowledge required for a successful career in building services engineering. The role offers exposure to a wide variety of sectors and project stages, with increasing responsibility as your experience and confidence grow. • Contributing to the technical design of electrical building services systems • Undertaking system load calculations and assisting with plant sizing • Supporting the coordination and sizing of plant rooms and distribution routes • Preparing technical reports appropriate to each design stage • Assisting in the development of technical specifications for selected systems and equipment • Evaluating technical options and documenting design decisions • Attending project meetings and workshops, learning through discussion and collaboration • Working with colleagues from other disciplines to broaden technical knowledge • Supporting the progression of designs through concept, developed, and detailed stages • Assisting with site inspections and monitoring installations during construction and commissioning • Gradually taking on increased responsibility for project delivery as your experience develops Qualifications • An accredited Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a closely related discipline. • Degree accreditation by a relevant professional institution such as CIBSE, IET, or IMechE is preferred. • A strong interest in building services, sustainable design, and multidisciplinary project delivery. • Relevant industry experience through internships, placements, work experience, or project-based activities would be advantageous. • Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit, BIM processes, or electrical design software would be beneficial but is not essential. • Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. • A proactive approach to learning and professional development, with an interest in working toward professional registration (e.g., IEng or CEng) in the future
