Typical projects include safety assessments (gas dispersion, fire modelling, explosion analysis, gas detection) as well as hydrodynamic assessments, heat transfer and flow assurance. We also support a range of other sectors including power and the built environment.
Innovation is at the heart of our team as we strive to continuously improve our capability and efficiency.
Our reputation is centred on delivering the right engineering solutions to our clients’ problems. We value the relationships we have with our clients: you would help to improve the engineering service we provide, and to build close relationships with the client, founded on trust and delivery.

- Managing projects to deliver high quality deliverables to clients meeting time and cost targets.
- Preparation of cost estimates and bids for new work scopes.
- Developing strong relationships with existing and future clients.
The Person:
We are looking for people who relish technically challenging engineering projects. You will be passionate and driven to improve the way we do things and deliver above and beyond to clients. You will be a proactive team player with excellent communication and presentation skills. You will be highly organised and enjoy a fast-paced working environment.
You will be able to demonstrate the following:
- Master’s Degree (MEng or equivalent) in mechanical engineering or related discipline (2:1 minimum), with a solid grounding in fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
- Ideally chartered with IMechE (or another engineering institution), or actively working towards chartership status.
- Experience of CFD modelling in Star-CCM+, or other comparable software.
- Strong understanding of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
- Excellent report writing, presentation and communication skills.
- Experience of leading work scopes to meet delivery/cost targets without compromising quality.
- Experience of contributing to successful bids and proposals.
- Track record of adding value through innovation.
