The company:

A newly established consultancy in Kent asked me to find an Intermediate Mechanical Design Engineer to join their MEP team.

With a background in construction, all three recognised the need for a truly interdisciplinary provider of consultancy services for this sector – and the added-value this could deliver to clients. Firstly, they cover all five areas integral to construction; project management, site surveys & investigations, civil & structural engineering, architecture and mechanical & electrical services. Furthermore their people aren’t just brilliant at what they specialise in, they also share common enthusiasms – and they talk to each other. In addition, they can often find innovative solutions to complex problems simply by walking over to a colleague’s desk.

Finally, with everything covered in house, they are able to respond to your needs with flexibility and economy, devising a bespoke solution that really fits. So why not see what we can do for you?
