Job description

Graduate Engineer 2027 (Structures) Location: London (office based) Salary: £34,000. In addition, we currently offer an annual tapering uplift to the base salary of £3,000 to assist with the cost of living in London. Employment: Permanent (Starting autumn 2027) Hours: Full Time (37.5 hours per week)

Who We Are The Useful Simple Trust (UST) consists of three professional design and consultancy practices: Expedition Engineering, Useful Projects and Useful Studio. We share innovative ideas, space and knowledge, and collaborate on a range of high impact projects in the UK and internationally. Our breadth of experience and industry network gives us a depth of inter-disciplinary thinking rarely found in the industry.

The company has 80+ talented and committed civil and structural engineers, architects, strategists, designers, and sustainability & innovation consultants who work side-by-side creating positive outcomes for our changing environment following our key company values Work for Good, More with Less, Restore and Adapt and Get, Set, Zero.

As a Social Enterprise, B-Corp™ and Employee Benefit Trust, we do things differently. Our people are highly motivated and committed, in part because our structure and values mean that our combined success is shared equitably. We share part of our profit and re-invest the rest in learning, research, social and environmental projects. We deliver purposeful projects that we believe have a sustainable impact on our clients and the wider human and natural environment.

Expedition Engineering is an award-winning engineering consultancy responsible for designing iconic structures such as the Velodrome, the cable car and Chiswick footbridge in London. Recent projects include repair works of existing buildings and footbridges, as well as the new Eden Project in Dundee, Scotland which is a brilliant example of regenerative design with a focus on circular economy and low carbon solutions. We work at all scales of project and stages of construction, including early-stage advice on standardisation, modularity and constructability as well as involvement in post-completion phases providing forensic engineering to determine root causes of defects. In addition to structural engineering, Expedition is involved in masterplanning and civil engineering projects, as well as leading on innovation to challenge traditional methods of construction, such as in the AVA footbridge design. Our construction engineering approach supports clients unlock challenges across their portfolios.

We focus on projects that we believe can have a high impact on society, in line with our regenerative commercial principles – doing purposeful work for profit that is then reinvested in purpose. This can be from small scale interventions through to working with large clients on high level strategic thinking pieces. We aim to blaze a trail with our projects and are constantly curious about evolving what it means to be an engineer in the modern world.
