What We Do
We provide the following core services:
• Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health Design Consultancy Services
• Energy Consultancy, Low Energy Design and Specialist Energy Services
• Engineering Facilities Management Services
• BREEAM and Environmental Services.
All of these disciplines overlap and complement each other, enhancing our service and allowing us to close the performance gap in buildings, this being the gap between the design and actual performance of a building.
Low energy design and wellbeing in design is often not fully realised in the completed and operational building. Our Energy Engineers play an important role in ensuring the engineering design provides a comfortable and enriching environment and our Facilities Engineers ensure this is translated into the day to day running of the buildings ensuring they have low operational carbon and offer a comfortable and energy efficient environment.
As part of an established team, Engineers produce low energy, creative design solutions, to both scheme and detailed design level, including carrying out site inspections/surveys, preparing specifications and project reports and attending meetings. Our Engineers work across a variety of sectors such as Science & Research, Education, Commercial, Healthcare, and Heritage buildings.
We have offices throughout the UK and this national coverage allows us to provide a UK wide service and to support our national framework commissions.

Career Opportunities
Every member of Staff has an important role to play in our business. We look to employ Staff who will help promote the success of the business and in turn develop expertise to support their own career development.
Design engineering applicants are preferably degree qualified in an appropriate discipline (e.g. Mechanical, Electrical, Energy, Facilities or Building Services Engineering or similar) with a minimum of three years’ relevant experience in an engineering role within a building services context. Experience of working with relevant design software (IES, Revit, etc.) and on BIM projects would be an advantage.
Candidates would demonstrate strong technical and communication skills, personal confidence and the ability to engage directly with Design Teams and Clients. We encourage and support our Engineers to obtain Chartered Engineer status and have an established training and development programme that will be tailored to suit you.
Facilities candidates would have skills which support the effective management and operation of engineering services installations in the operational building. They would demonstrate strong communication skills and a willingness to learn from experience to provide a valuable service to our Clients. The role of a Facilities Engineer includes troubleshooting of operational issues, compliance awareness, condition surveys and reporting, energy auditing and energy reduction plans, and collaborating with Service Providers, Agents and Clients.

Continuing Professional Development
We encourage the professional development of all Staff and provide mentor support to achieve membership of relevant Institutes and, where possible, to achieve Chartered Engineer status.
We encourage knowledge sharing amongst all disciplines and are open to new developments and innovations in our sector.
Although we have offices throughout the UK we operate as a single business and all Engineers are encouraged to develop expertise in all disciplines and work on projects throughout the UK.

Energy Initiatives
We are committed to being an Industry Leader in Low Energy design and Low Energy-in-Use buildings and we actively encourage our Clients to commit to ongoing NABERS assessments, the rating system in relation to Energy-in-Use and Design for Performance. This initiative allows us to ensure all energy saving initiatives are considered and implemented and includes ongoing reviews every 12 months following project completion.
We have working relationships with LETI and the UKGBC and are engaged in a number of zero carbon pathway projects.
Our Energy Team are trained in NABERS and other energy reduction initiatives and ensure they are always up to speed with current regulations, undertaking courses and training as required.
