Join United Utilities’ three-year Graduate Programme in their Project Engineering team and kickstart your career. As a Graduate Project Engineer, you’ll work alongside experienced Project Engineers and wider multidisciplinary teams, gaining hands-on experience across the project lifecycle. No two days are the same, with opportunities to learn in both office-based and site environments. You’ll build your understanding of engineering design, water and wastewater treatment and networks, construction documentation and project controls, while being supported to develop professionally through an accredited development route in engineering or project management. The typical graduate scheme entails rotating on various placements, to learn new skills.
