We pride ourselves on being a great place to work but don’t just take our word for it, here’s what Graduate Engineer, Sean has to say.

Everyone at PDS is beyond friendly! I enjoy the diversity of my work, whether that be travelling to different location or having the opportunity to gain experience on a multitude of equipment of varying ages, providing me with some great exposure. I particularly value the diversity of our engineers as each person has their own skillset and expertise. And in the short time I have been with PDS I have met a lot of different people who have all entered into their engineering career from different routes; everyone shares their knowledge and experience with each other, and this has provided me with the foundations required to find my feet as a Graduate Engineer.
