What will you do on the programme?

Step into the future of engineering with our Digital Engineering Graduate Programme – where innovation meets impact. You’ll be at the heart of transforming how complex engineering projects are delivered, combining cutting-edge technology, smart data, and collaborative thinking to shape the future of defence and infrastructure.

• Develop 3D models, automate design processes, analyse engineering data, and help integrate digital tools into live projects.
• Support digital transformation initiatives, contribute to design reviews, and improve project delivery through smarter use of data and technology.
• Help implement Building Information Modelling (BIM) strategies, manage digital assets, and create immersive simulations using Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance planning and safety.
• Hands-on with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems – creating 2D and 3D content, refining workflows, and supporting accurate data exchange across teams.

Every experience will help you build confidence, grow your technical skills, and make a real impact.

How is the programme structured?

This two-year programme gives you practical experience across a wide range of digital engineering disciplines. You’ll rotate through placements every four to six months, gaining insight into everything from model management and CAD strategy to laser scanning, data visualisation, and reality capture. You’ll work with cross-functional teams and gain exposure to areas such as cyber security, systems engineering, and configuration control. Each rotation is designed to build technical and professional skills with increasing levels of responsibility and autonomy. By the end, you’ll have a solid foundation in digital engineering and the skills to advance in a fast-evolving industry.

How do we develop and support you?

From day one, you’ll receive structured support, personalised training, and dedicated mentorship. You’ll join our Graduate Development Programme with masterclasses on communication, personal branding, resilience, and wellbeing.
