Engineering is a dynamic and rewarding career option!
It's creative. It’s innovative. It’s shaping the world around us.
Throughout history it has been engineers and construction consultants that have shaped and improved our lives. In our landscapes they are responsible for ensuring buildings, bridges and other structures stand up, managing our transport systems, conserving buildings that already exist and offering solutions to environmental problems.
A career in the built environment could mean so many things: project management through to structural engineering and transport planning to finance.
