We are currently looking for a Graduate to join our Structural Engineering team as part of our Evolve Graduate Programme at our Oxford office commencing in October 2024. Our Evolve Graduate Programme will kickstart your career in your chosen field, supporting your all-round development through a two-year structured programme before you progress along your chosen career pathway.
Our projects include large complex schemes with contract values over £200 million to smaller local client focussed tasks. We work both in the UK and internationally with interesting clients including F1 Teams, motor manufacturers, Schools/Universities, contractors, developers etc.
Our graduate roles are real, genuine roles in our teams – you will play an important part in providing exceptional service to our clients and be exposed to a lot more client activity than you may be at the bigger consultancies.

- Co-ordinate your designs with other design disciplines and specialists with BIM
- Assist with the production of detailed design drawings and specifications for tender purposes
- Visit site during the construction phase to monitor on-site progress
- Carry out structural surveys of existing buildings and advise on any issues that may arise
- Analyse and report on structural defects in existing buildings and structures
- Check outgoing and incoming documents, including Contractors proposal documentation
Your development is our priority, our role is to ensure you have the tools, skills and confidence to succeed in your career with us, so your first two years on programme offer the following development opportunities:
- Professional
- We'll support you to gain your chartership, through our vast network of internal chartership champions and established guidance

- You'll have a buddy to support you with the day-to-day aspects of working at Ridge, someone who has trodden the same path and you'll feel comfortable talking to about the little things
Once you've completed your two-year programme, you'll continue your development journey in your chosen discipline team, where you will be promoted from the programme to the next step in the pathway and progress along the career path for that area.
