Mechanical Engineering Graduate Water / Exeter (Summer / Autumn 2025 starts)

Our mechanical water engineers examine the hydraulics of systems to calculate and specify pump systems, as well as developing plant room layouts. They ensure designs meet the required performance also providing suitable access for operators so that the equipment can be safely maintained, and develop performance specifications and schedules to define all items of equipment, whilst ensuring that they comply with the relevant client and industry standards. They also initiate control philosophies to define how a plant will operate, before collaborating with the other designers. The successful applicants will work closely with other design disciplines and stakeholders, to ensure that the design elements interface correctly, and the design fits all parties requirements. Here's what you'll do:

• Pumping calculations and specifications.
• Production of system schematics.
• Production of equipment and drive schedules;
• Production of engineering specification documents in relation to hydraulics and pump systems;
