2027 UK Graduate Program

Graduate Engineer - Construction

Kick-start your construction career with Worley, a global engineering and construction organisation delivering some of the world's most complex and innovative energy, chemicals and infrastructure projects. We are seeking a talented Graduate Engineer with a strong interest in construction and project delivery to join our UK team, with opportunities across our offices in London and Manchester.

From Carbon Capture, Green Hydrogen and Sustainable Aviation Fuel projects to major data centres, pipelines and traditional energy developments, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to projects that are shaping the future of our industry. Working alongside experienced construction and project delivery professionals, you will gain hands-on exposure to the planning, coordination and execution of large-scale projects, developing the skills required to manage construction activities safely, efficiently and successfully, in the home office and at project sites.

You will complete our two-year Graduate Development Programme through either the Civil/Structural or Mechanical/Piping discipline route, depending on your qualification and development pathway. This will give you a structured technical foundation, aligned to the relevant discipline competencies and professional-development route, while gaining Construction and site experience from the outset. Working alongside experienced engineering, construction and project delivery professionals, you will gain experience across the project lifecycle, from design and planning through to construction, commissioning and handover.

The role is intended to provide a clear pathway towards a long-term career in Construction. You should therefore have a strong interest in site-based project delivery and be prepared to work across office and project locations as opportunities arise.

You'll be:

· Supporting Construction teams in the planning, coordination and delivery of major energy and infrastructure projects.

· Working within either the Civil/Structural or Mechanical/Piping discipline to develop designs and technical deliverables from concept through to construction.

· Working with Engineering, procurement, project management and Construction teams to support project delivery from design through to construction, commissioning, start-up and handover.

· Developing an understanding of construction planning, fabrication and site execution.

· Supporting construction engineering and project scoping, including the preparation of construction strategies and methods.

· Gaining experience of FEED and EPC/EPCM execution models, including modularisation and advanced work packaging.

· Supporting the development of construction schedules, work sequencing and commissioning priorities.

· Supporting contract and workforce planning using advanced work packaging systems and processes.

· Supporting the planning and Engineering of temporary site facilities and services.

· Using digital construction management systems and project data to support planning, coordination and progress reporting.

· Gaining site experience in supervision, safe working, quality inspection, progress reporting, contractor management and turnover.

· Supporting project safety, quality and environmental performance, taking on increased responsibility as your experience develops.

· Providing technical information and support to other Engineering disciplines and project functions.

· Building strong stakeholder-management skills through collaboration with clients, contractors, suppliers and multidisciplinary project teams.

You'll have:

· An accredited bachelor’s or master’s degree in Civil, Structural or Mechanical Engineering, either completed within the past two years or due to be completed before the programme begins.

· A minimum 2:1 honours degree or equivalent qualification, either achieved or expected.

· A strong interest in developing a career in Construction, project delivery and site-based operations.

· An interest in both Engineering design and its application through fabrication, construction and site execution.

· Strong communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills.

· A proactive approach to learning and developing your technical and professional capabilities.

· The flexibility to travel and work across project sites and office locations as required.

· Must have full right live and work in the UK.

What Worley offers to you:

· A structured two-year graduate development programme to support in your professional development through core competencies, leadership project management courses, and professional registration
