JBA Graduate Scheme Pathways

Engineering

Help to shape the future with resilient engineering solutions

Drawing on disciplines including civil, structural, mechanical, coastal and environmental engineering, the Engineering Graduate pathway offers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across a diverse range of projects. From flood alleviation schemes, coastal defences and river engineering to flood storage reservoirs, pumping stations and infrastructure resilience programmes.

Working alongside experienced engineers and specialists, you'll be involved in everything from asset inspections and condition assessments to detailed design, asset management planning and construction support. Through innovative and sustainable engineering solutions, you'll help protect people, places and the environment while shaping a more resilient future.

Discover how our recent graduates are applying their engineering skills to real-world projects:

Pevensey Star Inn Gates

“The Star Inn Gates is the main water level control structure on the eastern Pevensey Levels. The structure was reaching the end of its working life and presented a barrier to upstream eel migration. My role in this project was to develop the idea of a floating, passive eel pass into a complete, validated and buildable design. I used my mechanical engineering skills to select materials and components suitable for a marine environment, and my 3D CAD skills to draft a buildable design using off-the-shelf parts. I have further developed my understanding of mathematics, physics and problem-solving skills during the proof testing phase of the project.”

Rob Briggs, Mechanical Engineer

Skeffling Pumping Station

“We worked on the detailed design of a new land drainage pumping station to protect surrounding residential properties and agricultural land. This new asset will replace an existing one, which has surpassed its design life. The new station will protect up to a 1% AEP event. I am the Project Manager for this scheme, where I lead a multi-disciplinary team to deliver this complex technical design. I have oversight of the whole project, from the design calculations and details to commercial elements such as programme and costs.”

Sam Conlon, Civil Engineer

CAD SharePoint Development

“This project aimed to standardise graphical deliverables and develop a platform that prioritises consistency, collaboration and a community for technicians working on graphical deliverables. My role in this project included liaising with the company Digital Lead to scope requirements for the SharePoint site, working collaboratively with the IT department to develop a front and back end to the SharePoint site and setting up templates and standards to make it accessible to the entire company. By working on this project, I have been able to develop my SharePoint development, project management and digital strategy technical skills.”
