As a small‑medium enterprise, Drumgrange benefits from having a flat organisation structure with only a few levels between a junior role and a department head, so you can spend more time with technical application and less time wrangling with red tape.

A role at Drumgrange presents a fantastic opportunity to be involved across the whole design lifecycle, and with such a wide portfolio of products and capabilities, you can expect varied and interesting work that takes you across different engineering domains and environments.
