There will also be opportunities to explore different career paths within the business, including:

• Building Information Modelling


• Mechanical Engineering


• Electrical Engineering


• Sustainability


• Building Performance Engineering

What You’ll Be Doing:

As part of the team, you will:

• Assist with the development of engineering design models and drawings


• Support engineers and technicians on live construction projects


• Help coordinate design information between different disciplines


• Learn how digital tools are used to support building design and construction


• Contribute to improving digital engineering workflows and processes


• You will also be encouraged to explore new technologies, including how AI and advanced digital tools can support the development of engineering design information
