Build practical experience. Support essential infrastructure. Build your engineering career with WGM. WGM Engineering, part of RSK Group, is looking for a permanent, full-time basis. This role will be based in Glasgow and will benefit from hybrid working, alongside regular travel to operational sites across Scotland. WGM Engineering is experiencing significant growth across the UK, delivering critical infrastructure projects across the water, utilities and infrastructure sectors. Our teams work with major clients across regulated environments, supporting safe, sustainable and high-quality project delivery. We are focused on building long-term capability, strengthening our teams and creating opportunities for people to build meaningful careers.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting the planning and delivery of planned, reactive and inspection-led maintenance activities across water and wastewater assets.
• Assisting with site surveys, technical assessments, work scopes, project documentation and short-term delivery plans.
• Helping coordinate labour, materials, plant, suppliers and subcontractors to ensure work is delivered safely and efficiently.
• Supporting installation, testing, commissioning, project close-out and asset handover activities.
• Tracking progress, costs, resources, changes and delivery risks, while maintaining accurate project and maintenance records.
• Working closely with Delivery Managers, engineers, supervisors, planners, commercial teams and clients.
• Taking part in site briefings, toolbox talks, audits and inspections, while completing the technical and safety training required for your development.

What You’ll Bring

• Confidence using Microsoft Office and a willingness to learn new systems, processes and technical disciplines.
• A full UK driving licence, or a commitment to obtaining one within an agreed period, alongside flexibility to travel regularly to operational sites.

Previous placement, internship, apprenticeship or site-based experience would be helpful, as would awareness of MEICA systems, water or wastewater processes, technical drawings, project planning or commercial principles, but these are not essential.
