We are looking for Civil Engineering graduates to become part of our team bringing innovation/passion to make a difference and be part of the solution and contributing to our challenge of becoming a carbon net zero organisation by 2030.
Our four to five year national engineering graduate programme focuses on four vital areas: technical, commercial, professional and management. It’s a structured, well supported programme and one that will see you take on a mix of internal and external assignments, building up skills in everything from asset management to project feasibility, planning and design to project management and site supervision and incident response. Typically, you’ll spend three months to a year on each assignment, giving you plenty of time to get to grips with the real issues, gain the necessary experience, making each project your own.
We’ll provide full training under agreement with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). Once you’ve gained the full range of relevant skills, attributes and capabilities, you can complete your chartered professional review. Pass and you’ll be a flood and coastal risk engineer with Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. From there you can apply for a wide range of suitable professionally qualified roles within the Environment Agency.
