We have a fantastic opportunity for a recently Graduated Structural or Mechanical Engineer to work in the field of Temporary Engineer, joining our client in Bristol on a full time, permanent basis.
Our client is a privately-owned scaffold and temporary works company that provide expert solutions within the Construction, Civil Engineering and Rail sectors. The business has enjoyed great success and are proud to say that 80% of their work is based on repeat business or referrals. They have provided recent design and installation for companies such as Highways England, Network Rail, Skanska and Balfour Beatty to name a few.
The business is now looking ahead to the future of the company and have an impressive growth plan, beginning with the recruitment of a Graduate Engineer to support the technical department and develop their personal skill set. You will be entering in a design and project management role whilst under the mentorship and guidance of a Senior Engineer.

Working on a mix of commercial and industrial projects throughout the UK
Work to processes and checklists to ensure quality assurance
Survey project sites and gather information required to produce design briefs and drawings
Assist managers and operatives in temporary works design

A sector notoriously hard to break into when coming from a design environment.
