Graduate Structural Engineer in Ivybridge

POSITION: GRADUATE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER

Join our award-winning engineering consultancy based in Ivybridge, Devon, and become part of a friendly, experienced team delivering a diverse range of structural engineering projects across the Southwest.

At John Grimes Partnership, we believe the best engineers develop through a combination of sound technical design and practical site experience.

From the outset, you will work on live projects, attend site visits, and collaborate closely with experienced engineers who are committed to supporting your professional development.

The Role

As a Graduate Structural Engineer, you will assist with the delivery of a wide variety of structural engineering projects ranging from residential and commercial buildings to industrial, marine and historic structures.

Whilst the role is primarily structural engineering, you will also gain valuable exposure to our civil, geotechnical and coastal engineering teams, providing experience across a range of disciplines that many larger consultancies are unable to offer.

Responsibilities

• Assisting with the analysis and design of steel, reinforced concrete, timber and masonry structures.
• Preparing structural calculations, technical reports and design information under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Producing and reviewing engineering drawings using Auto CAD and other design software.
• Undertaking structural inspections, condition surveys and site investigations.
• Visiting construction sites to monitor progress, observe construction techniques and assist with technical queries.
• Working alongside our Civil, Geotechnical and Coastal Engineering teams on multidisciplinary projects.
• Assisting in the preparation of fee proposals and tender submissions.
• Liaising with architects, contractors, clients, local authorities and other members of the design team.
• Developing practical engineering solutions that are technically robust, buildable and deliver value for our clients.

Requirements

To be considered for this role you should have

• A BEng or MEng degree in Civil Engineering.
• A strong interest in structural engineering and a desire to develop a practical understanding of construction.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and a willingness to learn.
• Competence using Microsoft Office.
• Experience using Auto CAD, Master Series, SCIA Engineer or similar structural analysis software would be beneficial, although training will be provided.
• A full UK driving licence, or be working towards obtaining one.

What We Offer

At John Grimes Partnership, you'll be joining a supportive and collaborative team where graduates are encouraged to contribute from day one.

We place great importance on mentoring, professional development and providing genuine responsibility early in your career.

As part of our team, you will benefit from

• A competitive salary, dependent upon qualifications and experience.
• 28 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays.
• A permanent full-time position working a 37.5-hour week.
• Company pension.
• Payment of one relevant professional institution subscription.
• A structured graduate training programme supporting progression towards professional qualification with either the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStruct E) or the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), including regular mentoring and graduate development sessions.
• A varied workload with opportunities to work on building structures, marine and coastal engineering, historic structures, temporary works, inspections and multidisciplinary projects.
• A friendly working environment where you'll work directly alongside experienced engineers and directors, gaining valuable practical experience from the very beginning of your career.
