Graduate EC&I Engineer

Launch Your Career with Our 2026 Graduate Programme!

Are you brimming with ambition and ready to make your mark in the professional world? Look no further! Our UK Graduate Programme is designed to catapult you into a thriving career, offering unparalleled opportunities for growth, learning, and success. Join Amentum in September 2026 and help us create a secure and vibrant future.

If you are passionate about solving real‑world problems through ingenuity and technology, join our 400‑strong team of Electrical, Control & Instrumentation engineers. You will be working on projects across our Energy, Environment, Defence and Technology divisions to solve the most pressing problems that our society faces.

As part of your team, you will be actively involved in all stages of the project life‑cycle: establishing a set of client requirements, developing a concept, basic and detailed design (which can include producing drawings, calculations and design documentation), research, procurement of equipment, testing, installation and commissioning.

We are actively involved in nuclear new build, design of the next generation of nuclear reactors (both fission and fusion), support of the UK operational nuclear fleet, nuclear decommissioning, and nuclear propulsion.

• Exciting Projects: Work with a diverse team of experts from across the UK and beyond to gain insights into our markets and clients.
• Comprehensive Training: Benefit from a structured development programme that covers everything from discipline‑specific skills and professional registration to personal development.
• Mentorship: Receive guidance from seasoned professionals who are dedicated to helping you achieve your career goals.
• Career Progression: When you reach the end of the programme, it’s just the beginning! You’ll be supported to continue developing your experience and capabilities to progress your career and achieve professional registration.
• Supportive Community: Our hub‑based model focuses on key locations, ensuring that you’ll be part of a supportive early‑careers community with plenty of networking and experiential learning opportunities.

• Have completed an undergraduate or master’s degree in Electrical and/or Electronic Engineering by summer 2026.

• Digital skills:
  Understanding of digital platforms and how they can be applied to solve physics problems is also beneficial.
• Customer Focus:
  This is a consultancy role so experience of working with customers is also beneficial – not necessarily in an engineering role, other roles such as retail or hospitality would be suitable too.
• Flexibility: A willingness to try engaging in new skill areas or potentially travel to our client sites.
• A strong interest to work in the nuclear industry.

• A flexible self‑starter who is keen to drive their career forward.
• Adaptable to change, with a thirst for learning new things.
