Graduate Project Engineer

Graduate Project Engineer (Mechanical / Construction Focus)

Overview

We’re working in partnership with Therma Mech on a retained search for a Graduate Project Engineer to join their growing mechanical delivery team.

This is a hands‑on, field‑based engineering role suited to someone who wants real exposure to live project delivery rather than a purely office‑based position. You’ll be working across UK sites on a weekly basis, supporting the delivery of mechanical and construction projects from early stages through to completion.

This is a practical engineering role where you’ll learn by being on the tools, on site, and directly involved in how projects are actually delivered.

Key Responsibilities

• Support delivery of mechanical engineering and construction projects across UK sites
• Work on live project environments with regular weekly travel
• Assist with project coordination, installation, and on‑site engineering activity
• Support management of materials, subcontractors, sequencing, and site logistics
• Get involved in practical problem‑solving and technical delivery on site
• Contribute to end‑to‑end project delivery from planning through to handover
• Work closely with experienced engineers and project teams

Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related discipline such as Construction or Project Management)
• Strong practical engineering mindset – hands‑on, logical, and problem‑solving focused
• Comfortable working in active construction and industrial environments
• Willing to travel across the UK weekly and stay away when required
• Strong communication skills and ability to work within site/project teams
• Keen to learn, develop, and build a career in project delivery
• Interest in mechanical systems, installation, and real‑world engineering work

Ideal Candidate

• Practical engineer who prefers real‑world delivery over office‑based design work
• Strong mechanical understanding with a “nuts and bolts” approach
• Motivated by being on site and seeing projects built from the ground up
• Looking to develop into a Project Engineer / Project Manager pathway
• Reliable, adaptable, and comfortable in fast‑moving environments

What’s on Offer

• Exposure to UK‑wide mechanical project delivery
• Hands‑on training in real construction and engineering environments
• Clear progression into Project Engineer / Project Management routes
• Direct involvement in live, technically challenging projects
• Strong development within a growing mechanical contractor
