We’re looking for the next generation of change-makers and enquiring minds to join us in Engineering a Better Society.

We are engineers and built environment professionals who are driven by the idea of Better. We inspire clients and organisations to think differently about their spaces - not just aesthetically and commercially – but the benefit of the planet and people who use them every day.

As an Elliott Wood Graduate, you will have the opportunity to work on diverse and exciting projects , from art installations to award-winning buildings and masterplans, collaborating with and supported by leaders and changemakers across the built environment.

We are a B Corp Certified practice, one of only a few in our industry, which means we meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. From the Structural Carbon Tool we developed with IStructE to our collaborative coworking space at we back up our ambitions with action.

Engineer A Better Society…

At Elliott Wood we ask difficult questions: What kind of society do we want to live in? What can we do to address the climate emergency? What will be our engineering legacy?

To help us answer these questions and change the outdated habits of our industry, we have created a platform called ETHICS – Energy, Technology, Health, Infrastructure, Culture and Sustainability. By investing in these areas of enquiry, we will become better Engineers. It helps us to face up to the challenges and create solutions to Engineer a Better Society.

Much of what can be achieved to turn our industry around sits within the hands of future engineers, civil, structural and sustainability. The opportunity is enormous, and the clock is ticking.

Our Graduate Programme and Academy

Our graduate programme will build on the knowledge you have gained to date and enhance and complement it with new skills and experiences. Using ETHICS as the framework, you will gain a better understanding of how we can impact the built environment and learn engineering through a holistic lens... It is about reimagining engineering entrepreneurship.

Through our supportive, collaboratively focused in-house Academy and innovative workspace, The Society Building, there will be huge opportunities to explore the full breadth of civil and structural engineering across a wide range of projects, many of which are high-profile.

Benefits

• Hybrid working (minimum 3 days in office)
• 25 days annual leave

• Employee assistance programme
• Training and development opportunities via our Academy

Interested?

We are looking for creative, ambitious and resourceful people with enquiring minds and the desire to develop and progress as part of our Civil / Structural Engineering and Sustainability teams.

It's essential that you'll have a strong relevant degree (2.1 or above) or equivalent from a leading University / educational institution and you're currently resident in the UK with a visa that allows you to work full-time.

If this sounds like the opportunity for you, we’d love to hear why you should join our team of engineering disruptors. You'll need to answer all the questions to be considered.

Over the next month, any applications will be fully considered and responded to. We'll be taking applications until mid November, with a view to hold an Assessment Day late November and sending out offers before Christmas!

We’d love to hear from you!
