Job Description

Due to the continued growth and expansion of our Nuclear Team in our Warrington office we are looking to increase our technical workforce and are seeking to recruit a Graduate Electrical Engineer to join our EC&I - Electrical Control and Instrumentation Team for a September 2025 start.

About our Team

At AECOM, our Nuclear Team provide multi-disciplinary consultancy to the nuclear industry in both the nuclear new build and decommissioning sectors.

With an interesting and expanding pipeline of both international and UK based projects, as a Graduate EC&I Engineer, you will be required to both manage and report on your packages of work with support from Senior EC&I Engineers in the team, who will support in your continued development.

Here's what you'll do:

• Preparation of designs deliverables using CAD and BIM software tools

• Develop an understanding of highly regulated industries
