The business has built a strong reputation for quality, collaboration and long-term client relationships.

You'll work closely with experienced Structural Engineers and Technicians on a varied portfolio, with a significant focus on education schemes typically valued around £20m. The project pipeline also includes larger developments ranging from £70m to £100m, alongside healthcare facilities and residential schemes.
