In a nutshell, engineering consultancy is all about providing advice to positively impact our clients’ projects and businesses and the wider world around us.

Why Frazer-Nash?

As a graduate, you will typically be working on multiple projects simultaneously, managing your time and rapidly accruing a wealth of experience and skills. Hence, no two days in Frazer-Nash will be the same.

As a Graduate Sustainability Engineer, you’ll be surrounded by experts not just in our teams, but also in a range of other fields – whether it’s digital or human sciences, we’re an interesting bunch.

We have a comprehensive Early Careers package that will help you successfully integrate into our business and meet new colleagues from across the organisation – last year we had over 100 Graduates, interns and summer placements and we are looking for a similar sized cohort this year so you will be joining with a large and vibrant peer group.

The role

This is a Graduate Sustainability Engineer role within our Environment and Sustainability Assurance Group.

As a member of the business Environmental & Sustainability Assurance Group you will work on a variety of projects. These will range from the implementation of environmental management systems for £Multi-Billion acquisition projects through to helping clients to develop decarbonisation strategies and roadmaps and understanding risks posed not only by climate change but also the transition to Net Zero.

You will get the opportunity to work on projects across the Defence, Transport and Energy sectors. As your experience grows, we will trust in your capability and provide opportunities to take a lead on the technical and commercial aspects of projects. We will also provide opportunities for you to work in embedded roles on nationally significant projects to help you gain hands-on experience of how these projects operate and progress.

The successful individuals will receive training, mentoring and coaching to support their development into becoming well-rounded consultants and will be supported to achieve professional accreditations with organisations such as IEMA.
