A Graduate Engineer role supporting UK water infrastructure projects by using hydraulic modelling, simulation, automation, and data analysis to improve wastewater network performance and engineering decision-making.SummaryAbout the RoleWe are recruiting a Graduate Engineer to join our Water Team, working with UK water companies on some of the most important infrastructure challenges currently facing the industry. These include supporting water companies’ AMP delivery, Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans (DWMPs), and the ongoing issue of Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) spills and the effect on the environment, which is a high-profile topic in both politics and the media.The role focuses on using engineering tools, data and automation to understand how large wastewater systems behave and how their performance can be improved. You will be trained to work with hydraulic network models and to apply optimisation and automation techniques to explore large numbers of scenarios efficiently and consistently.This role is suited to graduates who enjoy understanding complex systems, testing different approaches, and using software to support sound engineering decisions.What You Will Be DoingWorking with 1D hydraulic network models used by UK water companies to support project delivery through structured model assessment and scenario testingAnalysing sewer network performance and the effectiveness of design and mitigation optionsUsing optimisation and automation tools to run, manage and interrogate large numbers of model simulationsContribute to a diverse range of work with ongoing opportunities to create and innovateDeveloping scripts and small tools to improve efficiency, repeatability and quality of resultsApplying engineering judgement to interpret model outputs and support decision-makingYou will receive structured training and mentoring as part of a supportive engineering team.Who This Role Is ForWe are open-minded about academic background and welcome applicants from a range of engineering and scientific disciplines, including:Mechanical Engineering (including automotive or aeronautical)PhysicsMathematicsCivil Engineering or related disciplinesThe key requirement is an interest in analytical problem solving and in using software to understand and improve real-world engineering systems.Skills and ExperienceEssentialStrong analytical and problem-solving skillsInterest in engineering simulation or CAE toolsWillingness to learn new software and technical methodsProactive approach to tackling technical problems and contributing ideas within a teamDesirableExperience with CAE or simulation tools through university projects, internships or personal workExposure to 1D modelling or network-based simulation, hydraulic, GIS tools or otherwiseAny experience of coding or scriptingParticular interest in Python, Ruby or C#Evidence of curiosity through projects, hobbies or activities involving building, analysing or optimising systemsWhy Join UsJoin a team that values engineering judgement, curiosity and initiative over rigid processWork on a variety of real engineering challenges that influence regulatory decisions and infrastructure investmentDevelop specialist skills in optimisation, automation and simulation-driven engineeringGain early experience with advanced workflows used in industryFlexibility around core working hours with safeguarded lunch breaksQuarterly team socials and socials with The Ingenium GroupOur CultureWe encourage engineers to ask questions, test ideas and improve how work is done. If you enjoy solving problems, working with simulation tools and applying engineering principles to complex systems, you will fit in well.
