Graduate Electrical Engineer (Building Services) - October 2026 Starts

Building Services Electrical Engineers work closely with multidisciplinary design teams to deliver innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions that meet both project briefs and budget requirements. We collaborate extensively with colleagues across Architecture, Environment, Transportation, Project Management, and other specialist disciplines, enabling us to provide fully integrated solutions for our clients. If you are passionate about engineering, interested in improving the built environment, and eager to apply your technical knowledge to real-world projects, we would love to hear from you.

Our teams deliver expert electrical engineering solutions across all aspects of building services design, including:

• High- and low-voltage power distribution systems
• Incoming utilities and electrical infrastructure
• Standby generation and UPS/resilient power solutions
• Renewable and low-carbon energy systems
• Power and lighting design
• Fire alarm systems
• Security and integrated building systems

As part of a global organisation, you will have opportunities to build connections regionally, nationally, and internationally, while contributing to a diverse and exciting portfolio of projects.,

When you join AECOM as a graduate, you will be paired with an experienced engineer who will support and mentor you as you begin working on live projects. The following outlines a typical approach to foundational training in your discipline; however, business needs, project opportunities, and your individual development goals may influence the scope and sequencing of your training. During your first year, you will develop skills in:

• Electrical engineering design for building projects
• Applying engineering principles to support sustainable and low-carbon design
• Delivering projects using BIM workflows
• AutoCAD and Revit
• Electrical load assessments, circuit design, cable sizing, and lighting calculations
• Using AECOM's Technical Practice Network
• Navigating relevant industry codes, standards, and guidance documents
• Completing mandatory health, safety, and compliance training
• Applying AECOM standards, symbols, and design procedures,

As a Graduate Electrical Engineer, you will contribute to the delivery of building services projects from concept through to completion, working as part of a multidisciplinary team under the guidance of experienced engineers. You will gain hands‑on experience in electrical design, technical coordination, project delivery, and site activities, while developing the skills and knowledge required for a successful career in building services engineering.

The role offers exposure to a wide variety of sectors and project stages, with increasing responsibility as your experience and confidence grow.

• Contributing to the technical design of electrical building services systems
• Undertaking system load calculations and assisting with plant sizing
• Supporting the coordination and sizing of plant rooms and distribution routes
• Preparing technical reports appropriate to each design stage
• Assisting in the development of technical specifications for selected systems and equipment
• Evaluating technical options and documenting design decisions
• Attending project meetings and workshops, learning through discussion and collaboration
• Working with colleagues from other disciplines to broaden technical knowledge
• Supporting the progression of designs through concept, developed, and detailed stages
• Assisting with site inspections and monitoring installations during construction and commissioning
• Gradually taking on increased responsibility for project delivery as your experience develops

An accredited Bachelor's degree (minimum 2:1 or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a closely related discipline.

• Degree accreditation by a relevant professional institution such as CIBSE, IET, or IMechE is preferred.
• A strong interest in building services, sustainable design, and multidisciplinary project delivery.
• Relevant industry experience through internships, placements, work experience, or project-based activities would be advantageous.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit, BIM processes, or electrical…
