Make an impact | Graduate Development at Bennett Freehill

We provide a structured learning and development plan for all young engineers to develop and refine their knowledge and skills, providing a platform to progress through the business. Our organisational structure allows each engineer to see their potential career path and opportunities.

Adam Clugston MSc PhD Mechanical Engineer joined Bennett Freehill in March 2021 as a graduate Mechanical Engineer:

“Given that this was my first engineering job outside of academia, I had some apprehension about starting into such a fast-paced and client driven industry as building services.

These apprehensions were quickly put to rest when I met the team I would be working with here at Bennett Freehill. Everyone was very welcoming and, due to the compact nature of the team, it was easier to connect to everyone that I would be working with on any given project.

Overall, I could not have asked for a better first-time experience of the engineering sector. Whilst building services was completely new to me almost two years ago, I have learned a lot during my time at Bennett Freehill and I know that my breadth of knowledge will only continue to grow – in no small part due to the ongoing support of the business and the drive of those who lead it.”

 

Shannon Molloy MEng Electrical Engineer joined Bennett Freehill in 2021 as a graduate Electrical Engineer:

“When I first started I had limited knowledge of the Building Services industry and what it involved. Due to this I had some uncertainty about my ability to be an asset to the team.

However, my team was so supportive in developing my understanding and knowledge of the industry that these worries were quickly diminished and I was able to settle into my role well.

Over the past year I have gained a wide range of experience through working on a range of projects and getting many training opportunities.

Bennett Freehill is very encouraging on career progression and I look forward to further developing my knowledge and expertise as an Electrical Engineer.”

 

We are recruiting for Mechanical and Electrical graduate positions to work on a range of diverse projects across the UK and Ireland. If you want to join a dynamic, social team please get in touch to learn more about our benefits and how you can take your career to the next level.
