We operate a flexible hybrid working pattern at Frazer‑Nash, with time split between the office and working from home.

The Built Environment group operates to assure the safety of structures and assets, including those subject to extreme hazards. Our integrated team establishes load conditions, structural responses, design solutions, testing programmes, substantiations and assurance against a variety of hazards (e.g. seismic, fire, blast, impact). Each of our projects is unique and we often need to return to first principles and develop bespoke solutions to satisfy our clients’ needs.

While our projects are challenging, the team promotes a collaborative and supportive environment, where knowledge is shared openly. We are always looking to improve – both technically and professionally.

We operate within the wider Asset Integrity area, which has a breadth of capability ranging from physical testing to design, research and advanced analysis. The purpose of the area is to support clients in understanding the life, degradation, integrity and performance of materials, components, systems and assets from concept design to decommissioning. We often operate at the interface with other engineering disciplines (mainly mechanical and electrical).
