We also give back to our communities through our Collectively program which incorporates matched-funding, paid volunteering time and charitable donations.

Work-life balance and flexibility is a key focus area for us. We’re happy to discuss hybrid, part-time and flexible working hours, patterns and locations to suit you and our business.

Minimum Requirements:

• Good all-round technical design expertise using British, American and international standards, and/or Eurocodes.
• Proven ability to manage projects and preparation of project deliverables, including managing quality, budget, programme and resources.
• Good understanding of structural theory, with proven problem solving ability.
• Proven ability in preparation of bids and proposals, and developing good working relationships with clients.

We put people at the heart of our business, and we genuinely believe that we all succeed by supporting one another through our culture of caring. We value positive mental health and a sense of belonging for all employees.
