đź“Ť Ivybridge, Devon | Full-time
Are you graduating this year, or have you recently completed a Civil Engineering degree? Are you looking for a role that offers genuine responsibility, varied projects, and plenty of opportunities to develop both your technical and practical engineering skills?
John Grimes Partnership is a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy providing structural, civil, geotechnical, coastal, and environmental engineering services across the Southwest and beyond. We're looking for a Graduate Structural Engineer to join our experienced and growing team.
Whilst this is primarily a structural engineering role, you'll have the opportunity to work alongside our civil, geotechnical, and coastal engineering teams, gaining valuable exposure to a wide range of projects and disciplines throughout your early career.
Within the structures team you will work across a diverse range of sectors including:
🔍 Structural Inspections, Investigations & Surveys
🏗️ Building Structures
🏰 Historic Building Structures
🌊 Coastal & Marine Structures
🧱 Retaining Structures
From designing new buildings and retaining structures to inspecting historic masonry, marine infrastructure, and coastal defences, no two projects are the same. We believe the best engineers develop through a combination of sound technical design and practical site experience, which is why you'll be involved in both office-based design work and site inspections from the very beginning.
What we're looking for
• BEng or MEng in Civil Engineering (or graduating this summer)
• A genuine interest in structural engineering
• Good communication and problem-solving skills
• A willingness to learn and develop professionally
• A full UK driving licence, or working towards obtaining one
• The legal right to work in the UK without requiring visa sponsorship, now or in the future.
What we offer
âś” Competitive salary
âś” Structured graduate training programme with support towards ICE or IStructE Chartership
âś” Company pension
âś” Payment of one professional institution subscription
âś” 28 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays
âś” A supportive team with direct access to experienced engineers

If you're looking to build your career with a consultancy that offers interesting projects, early responsibility, and excellent opportunities for professional development, we would love to hear from you.
Please send your CV and a covering letter to [email protected].
