We have a variety of different service lines within our team and the wider Engineering & Design Consultancy division that help in developing strong all round engineering mindset.

Training
Our training is fully aligned with CIBSE’s methodology and with reference to ‘CIBSE Training & Development Manual - Information for Trainees’ our approach is as follows:
‘Starting the journey towards membership and registration can be a daunting task whether you are a new graduate embarking on your career or an experienced engineer wanting to take the next step in your professional development.
Joining a T&D scheme gives you the benefit of a structured support system and clear process to follow. It allows you to gather evidence throughout your career, and rather than struggling to remember projects you worked on years ago, you will have documented examples to assist you in completing your Engineering Practice Report. You will also have regular contact with a mentor who has been through the process before and should have a good understanding of the competence criteria.
Applicants who have been part of a T&D scheme usually find that they are ready to apply for membership at an earlier date, and that the process of applying is easier for them.
Career development
Once you've become a member of CIBSE and successfully gained your Chartered Engineer status from Engineering Council (UK), you'll continue to receive training and career development opportunities. We ensure that your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is current and that all staff are fully up-to-date with changes to legislation and business needs.
