We are looking for candidates with a range of experience, whether its just a few years after graduating or if you are an industry "guru" we would like to hear from you.

In addition, it would be desirable, but not essential, to possess:

• Experience in providing technical consulting services to support technology development.
• A commercial awareness of the challenges facing our clients, particularly related to the adoption of clean energy technologies (e.g. infrastructure roll-out to support electrification).
• Experience of carrying out business development activities for technical consulting propositions (e.g. drafting and presenting proposals).
  
  

We look for the following qualities in our people:

• A willingness to adopt a ‘hands-on' approach
• Energy and enthusiasm to take on unfamiliar challenges, coupled with the ability to innovate and think freely.
• Enthusiasm to help build the careers of our less experienced engineers.
