Pros

Generally a friendly and supportive working environment, with the office and sector led by experienced engineers who bring strong commercial and strategic insight. There are plenty of project opportunities to build experience within the water industry, making it a great place to develop skills and strengthen your CV. Company promotes a diverse, inclusive and welcoming workplace culture.

Cons

Project delivery can often rely too heavily on graduate and junior engineers to meet deadlines, which can lead to high workloads and pressure on less experienced staff, as well as rushed QA processes. Project management quality can vary depending on the project, with differing levels of experience and capability. Pay is not great considering the level of responsibility and delivery pressure placed on junior staff.
