Where You'll Work - Woking or Romsey

Woking

You'll find our Woking site in a modern building on the outskirts of London. Rated excellent for sustainability by BREEAM & Fitwel certified — you'll feel better for visiting. This site provides key links to our customers in London, is a 5‑minute walk from the train station, has secure parking nearby and dedicated cycle storage.

Romsey

You'll find our Romsey site located within beautiful Hampshire countryside, close to the picturesque New Forest District and not far from a superb stretch of the south coast. This is no corporate concrete jungle; this is a manor house site, with ample parking an on‑site gym and a driveway full of daffodils in the spring.

There is an expectation that a proportion of your time may be spent working on client sites in the London area.

Clearance

Due to the nature of this role, we require you to be eligible and willing to achieve DV clearance. As a result, you should be a British Citizen and have resided in the U.K. for the last 10 years.
