Graduate Civil/Building Services Engineer - High-End Residential, Wimbledon

Fancy getting stuck into one of the most interesting restoration projects around? We're recruiting for an in-house design and construction team working for a high-end developer, based in Wimbledon.

Their current flagship project is the restoration of a Grade II* listed house and coach house, alongside new-build forecourt extensions, a basement, and external works and landscaping. The M&E on this one isn't your typical house installation - it's a genuinely interesting technical challenge, so anyone with a Building Services background will find plenty to get their teeth into.

This is a great next step for someone around 1 years post-grad who's had some site experience already and is now looking to move office-side while staying close to the technical detail. A degree in Civil Engineering, Building Technology, or Building Services would all work well here.

What you'll be doing

Working as assistant to the Technical Manager, you'll be checking drawings and specifications, making sure building services and construction works are installed, tested and certified correctly, and helping resolve design and construction queries. You'll keep the site team up to date with the latest construction information, photograph progress before walls, ceilings and floors are closed off, and make sure as-built information is properly recorded on drawings. You'll also own the completion file, help manage specialist subcontractors and suppliers, and chase down outstanding information and actions - flagging anything critical along the way. You'll be working closely with an in-house team of architects, a quantity surveyor, a purchasing manager, and external consultants, contractors and statutory authorities.

What we're looking for

• A graduate, ideally with some experience with a consultant or contractor
• Solid technical knowledge and an understanding of project programming and planning
• Confident with Excel
• Genuinely enthusiastic about design and construction
• Able to juggle multiple priorities and hit deadlines
• Comfortable communicating with everyone across the design and construction team

If this sounds like your kind of project, get in touch.
