What is it like learning with us?
With the goal of investing in the next generation of engineers, we offer a range of placements each year. Hear from the people who have been working with our team this summer.
I have been able to work on a range of projects alongside the structural and civil teams, improving my overall understanding of these disciplines, and developing my sketching and calculation skills. I have particularly enjoyed working with GSA, Rhino and AutoCAD.
