The Team

Our dedicated IT Consultancy play a key role in digitally enabling the built environment to provide a technologically enhanced environment commensurate with our clients’ needs. We pride ourselves on being a market leader in our field, working globally with high profile clients in fin tech, HQ offices, smart campuses, and smart buildings. Our reputation has led to us advising on global technology benchmarking and technological certification of buildings. We work across a range of market sectors including workspace and residential, mission critical and academia, work that has seen us feed into the new technical approach for UK schools and assessing smart systems for the technical evolution of Muscat in Oman. Operating globally our team is based in Central London right next to St Paul’s Cathedral.

The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced IT Consultant with the ability to engage and interact with stakeholders at different levels, joining us to play a leading role in ensuring the successful delivery of innovative design solutions, whilst providing technical and team leadership. You will collaborate within the wider Cundall team and external partners, working closely with colleagues of various disciplines to help manage the delivery of technically excellent and successful projects. The role will include managing engineers to deliver designs, technical reviews, stakeholder engagement, and monitoring fee and programme for projects. You will be involved in QA processes, establishing deliverables, mentoring and work winning activities. Using your expertise and determination you can manage, motivate, and inspire less experienced engineers. You will also support, and be supported by, senior management staff within the team, embracing the collaborative and supportive behaviours Cundall exhibit.

The Skills

However, we are willing to work with the right driven and technically strong individual to develop these skills. In your most recent position, you have consistently demonstrated your ability to manage small to medium-scale projects and less senior engineers to deliver to, and exceed, client expectations. You have proven ability in producing schematic diagrams, preparing specifications and project reports, carrying out site inspections and surveys, detail design development as well as lead project meetings. Knowledge of WiredScore or other technical benchmarking for buildings is a positive, bringing your own opinions on how we can support clients through technical journeys. Through this experience, you can support your project teams to design and develop detailed and accurate designs.
