An award-winning multidisciplinary design and survey consultancy in the critical infrastructure sector, trusted partners to many of the largest and well-known transportation companies in the UK.
We’re a close-knit team, that is refreshingly different to work with than many large corporates. We’re friendly, flexible and dynamic in our approach to people, projects and clients.
Why are we looking for this role?
Currently we're a team of 40 across the group, with plans to grow our numbers over the next two years, which could be accelerated through our growth and acquisition strategy.
The Architectural Technology team is growing alongside our other design teams, due to excellent past performance and to the award of new and exciting schemes from our existing network of loyal clients. The diverse and extensive pipeline of work is a testament to the existing team; however, we are looking for more driven individuals to deliver these mission critical projects.
Why is now a great time to join?
We are in a strong place, we are growing steadily, and all in an economic environment where there's high inflation and concerns about recession.
We're on a strong growth path across the group with a clear vision to continue and accelerate, so from a job security and progression point of view it’s a really good time to join.
