The past year has seen a strategic phase of growth, with 14 new team members joining their London office — a testament to their success, reputation, and the appeal of the company culture they are so positively known for.

The prison sector offers unique and rewarding technical challenges — far beyond what most expect. Within each facility you will find integrated environments that combine healthcare, fitness, accommodation, and high‑security systems, all designed with a deep commitment to sustainability.

They are proud to have delivered the UK's first all‑electric, net‑zero prison, leading the way in supporting the Ministry of Justice's commitment to carbon reduction through innovative fully electric systems.

• 30 days annual leave + Bank Holidays.
• Flexible working options: 3 office / 2 home or 9‑day fortnight.
• No weekly timesheets!
• Annual £300 sports & wellness membership.
• Supportive pathway to Chartership (CEng) and CPD opportunities.
• Exposure to challenging, high‑profile projects that make a genuine social impact.
• Collaborative culture built around innovation, inclusion, and mutual respect.

Why Join Them?

At their core they believe quality isn't just about design – it's about people. They have built a consultancy where engineers stay, grow, and make a tangible impact on projects that matter.
