About Us:
Hoare Lea is an award-winning engineering consultancy with a creative team of engineers, designers and technical specialists. We provide innovative solutions to complex engineering and design challenges for buildings.

Irrespective of the scale or complexity of a project, we provide a full range of MEP, environmental and sustainability services, bringing buildings to life and ensuring that they perform in operation as well as they look.

Hoare Lea has joined Tetra Tech’s High Performance Buildings Group, a global alliance of MEP firms.

• You'll be part of progressive and exciting projects, able to experience innovative schemes across all sectors.
• You’ll advance your career, your way, thanks to our structured Career Paths framework.

In addition, we will provide you with structured support to achieve Chartered Engineering status if you so wish.

The Role:
As a graduate engineer, your day-to-day tasks will vary, as we’ll expose you to all aspects of our work so you can discover what suits you. You could be:

• In a variety of sectors from healthcare to hotels.
• Producing detailed designs and drawings.
• Using the latest computer modelling software CAD and Revit.
• Continuous CPD and learning opportunities.
• Helping design, create and solve Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Control Systems.
• Producing designs for above and below ground drainage systems and hot and cold-water services to standard, budget and deadline.

Communicating will span all of these, as we regularly liaise with project teams, meet clients or end users, and attend collaborative meetings.

You will receive a dedicated mentor and supervisor and you will receive the best training to support you through your development with us.

What We Are Looking For:

• An expected or achieved 2.1 or above IMechE or CIBSE accredited degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical Engineering or similar.

• An understanding of CAD or similar modelling software is an advantage.
• Excellent communication, analytical and organisational skills.
• Ability to work in a team environment and independently.
• A friendly, ambitious and confident individual with a flexible and resilient approach.

Our Benefits:
To reward your hard work and commitment we offer both core and flexible benefits, a competitive salary and industry leading training and development to support you throughout your career.

How to Apply:
To apply simply complete a CV profile and submit your application.

We are unlikely to progress applications where sponsorship is required to obtain a Tier 2 (general) visa as we expect to be able to fill all our roles with candidates who have the right to work in place.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:
We are committed to being a place where underrepresented individuals and communities are not just included, but where marginalised knowledge and experience is valued, amplified, and harnessed. So, we strongly encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, including women, people of the Global Majority, LGBTQ+ individuals, disabled people, neurodivergent people, and those from all other underrepresented or marginalised groups.

Adjustments and Accommodations:
If there are adjustments or accommodations that we can put in place to ensure you can participate and give your best at any stage of the recruitment process, please let us know.
