About Us

We are an award-winning engineering consultancy with a creative team of engineers, designers, and technical specialists. We provide innovative solutions to complex engineering and design challenges for buildings.

What are we looking for?

Are you an aspiring engineer looking to make a difference to the world around you? Do you want the chance to grow, learn, and be supported by industry leaders?

This ever-changing world will be shaped by the buildings put into it; and we know it’s often the newest minds who have the brightest ideas.

These days, engineering is a lot more than pipes and wires; we look at the building as a whole and are involved in every stage, from initial client discussions right through to construction and even the building’s ongoing performance. We collaborate with colleagues, architects, and other construction professionals, playing a critical role in every building’s design.

What might you be doing?

As an apprentice, your day-to-day tasks will vary, as we’ll expose you to all aspects of our work so you can discover what suits you. You’ll learn,

• How to produce detailed designs and drawings
• Use the latest computer modelling software
• Undertake site surveys
• Research ground-breaking technologies
• Have regular meetings with project teams, clients or end users
• Prepare engineering system designs on computers
• Writing specifications
• Monitoring progress on construction sites.
  
  

There could be opportunities to specialise in electrical, mechanical or digital engineering design.

Why Hoare Lea?

• You’ll collaborate with the industry’s best, working with a wide range of built-environment specialists.
• You’ll be part of progressive and exciting projects, able to experience innovative schemes across all sectors.
• You’ll advance your career, your way, thanks to our structured Career Paths framework.
