Job Description

Hoare Lea is a human-centric and planet-conscious engineering consultancy. We offer intelligent and sustainable solutions to complex design challenges for the built environment throughout the UK and further afield.

We provide a wide range of engineering and consultancy services, including acoustics, air quality, building services (MEP), fire, lighting, security and sustainability to name but a few. Together, our highly skilled teams use technical expertise and problem-solving skills to bring buildings to life. We ensure that whatever the building, its design is outstanding, and its operations meet the needs of the communities it serves.

Whatever your ambitions or circumstances, our aim is to enable everyone to develop their knowledge, give their best, and enjoy what they do.

• You’ll collaborate with the industry’s best, working with a wide range of built-environment specialists.
• You’ll be part of progressive and exciting projects from day one, able to experience innovative schemes across all sectors.
• You’ll advance your career, your way, thanks to our structured Career Paths framework.
• You’ll be encouraged through our accredited training and development scheme with a dedicated mentor and supervisor, supporting you to Chartership, if you wish.

Being part of one of the UK’s largest building engineering consultancies, we benefit from collaborating with some of the best engineers in the business, with access to state-of-the-art technical support, and have the opportunity to work on some of the largest and most high-profile projects as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
