Bryden Wood: does its undergraduate building services engineer placement sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyUndergraduate Building Services Engineer Placement

Unconfirmed. Bryden Wood publishes no sponsorship policy for its undergraduate building services engineer placement, so we cannot state a firm answer. Bryden Wood is a 300 person strategy and design consultancy bringing together strategy, design, engineering and digital expertise, with offices in London, Barcelona, Milan and Athens plus a St Albans base, working to accelerate decarbonisation, deploy new technologies and integrate design and delivery for critical infrastructure. Two undergraduate placements were open when checked, one electrical and one mechanical, both in the Building Services MEP department in London or St Albans, both for a one year period starting from Summer 2027 with the exact date to be agreed. Placement engineers contribute to designs including drawing work, calculations and report writing, may visit live sites and join design team and client meetings, and work closely with other disciplines in an integrated team. Projects named are data centres, pharmaceutical facilities, railways, hospitals, large scale residential developments and carbon neutral office buildings. What is asked for is enthusiasm for engineering design, good analytical ability, interpersonal skills, a willingness to learn AutoCAD and Revit, an interest in emerging construction technologies, and Microsoft Office proficiency, rather than a specific degree classification. Benefits on the placement include a nine day fortnight described as one genuinely free rest day every fortnight with no change to salary, hybrid working, regular performance reviews and 25 days annual leave.

The catch: The covering letter has to be uploaded in the Upload Portfolio section of the application form, which is easy to miss. The role is posted as permanent even though it is a one year placement, so the contract type on the listing is misleading.
