Graduate Design Engineer – Mechanical, Electrical, Civil or Structural

The Vacancy Design solutions that matter. Build your experience. Engineer your future with WGM. About The Role

WGM Engineering, part of RSK Group, is looking for a Graduate Design Engineer to join our Technical & Design team on a permanent, full-time basis. This role will be based in Glasgow and will benefit from hybrid working, alongside travel to project and operational sites as required.

We are open to graduates from Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Civil, Structural, Building Services, Mechatronics, Process, Chemical, Control, Instrumentation or Automation Engineering backgrounds.

You will join the discipline most closely aligned to your qualification and technical interests, while gaining exposure to the wider design function and learning how integrated, multi-disciplinary engineering solutions are developed and delivered.

Working alongside experienced designers, engineers, Principal Designers and project teams, you will contribute to live projects from the outset, supporting design development from initial concept and optioneering through to detailed design, construction support, commissioning and final handover.

Alongside your day-to-day role, you will take part in WGM's 24-month Graduate Development Programme. The programme combines meaningful project experience with structured technical, professional and personal development, helping you build confidence, commercial awareness and the skills needed for a long-term career in design, project engineering or technical leadership.

WGM Engineering is experiencing significant growth across the UK, delivering critical infrastructure projects across the water, utilities and infrastructure sectors. As part of RSK Group, we combine the scale and support of a wider group with the practical, hands-on approach of a specialist engineering delivery business.

Our teams work with major clients across regulated environments, delivering safe, sustainable and high-quality engineering solutions. As we continue to grow, we are focused on strengthening our technical capability and creating opportunities for people to build meaningful, long-term careers with WGM.
