Full job description
Looking to make the most of your summer while your mates are lying on the beach? Why not get ahead, gain real-world experience, and build networks that will set you up for your future career?

From day one you’ll be treated like a valued team member, collaborating, problem-solving and seeing how your degree applies in practice.

You can expect to:

Work alongside experienced engineers on live projects
Gain hands-on technical skills and exposure to cutting-edge tools
Learn about different areas of the business and career paths available
Develop your professional network with mentors, peers, and industry contacts
Present your work at the end of the program, showcasing what you’ve achieved

We’re looking for students who demonstrate:

A genuine interest in building a career in consulting engineering
Curiosity, creativity and a willingness to learn
Strong teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills
Initiative and the confidence to take on challenges
