We are looking for graduates to join Structa's Graduate Development Programme for September 2026, with four roles across two disciplines and two offices.
About us
Structa is a multi‑disciplinary engineering consultancy of around 40 people, working across four UK offices for private and public sector clients. Our projects run from bespoke homes to major regeneration and housing schemes for leading housebuilders and commercial clients. Founded in 2004 by four engineers, we focus on delivering client‑centric solutions within a talented team. 80% repeat business confirms we continue to get it right.
The roles
- Civil Engineering – Swindon (×2) – You will join a busy team delivering fully coordinated infrastructure design on housing, regeneration and commercial schemes. From day one you will work on real projects: highway geometry, drainage, SuDS, earthworks, and statutory liaison with highways authorities and water companies. You will learn how to balance technical ambition with commercial reality and develop the skills that turn a graduate into a chartered engineer.
- Structural Engineering – Hemel Hempstead (×2) – You will work across the full range of structural problems, from surveys and investigations through to high‑rise buildings, multi‑storey basements, listed building refurbishments and large housing schemes. Working across steel, concrete, timber and masonry gives you the breadth of judgement a good structural engineer needs, and you will build client‑facing skills alongside technical ones from the start.
Your development
Both roles offer a clear, supported route to professional qualification: ICE for Civil, and ICE or IStructE for Structural. You will receive a Supervising Engineer, a training record from day one, regular progress reviews, paid study leave, paid exam leave, and reimbursement of your professional membership fees.
What we're looking for
- A relevant accredited engineering degree (civil or structural)
- Strong numeracy and attention to detail
- Clear communication – technical and non‑technical
- A collaborative, can‑do attitude
- The right to live and work in the UK
- A full UK driving licence and relevant placement experience are a bonus.
What we offer
25 days’ holiday plus public holidays (rising with service); buy‑and‑sell holiday scheme; flexible working around 10‑4 core hours; Aviva pension matched up to 5%; healthcare cash plan; life assurance at 4× salary; employee assistance programme; ongoing coaching and management development.
Equal opportunity
We welcome applications from all backgrounds.
