* Draft figures, calculations and sections of technical reports that are reviewed and coached by senior staff.
* Attend project and site meetings to build consulting skills and confidence in client communication.

What you'll bring

* Strong interpersonal skills and a love of working in an innovative and collaborative environment.
* A keen interest in developing technical skills and understanding the intricacies of a consultancy.
* An enquiring mind that can identify and deliver high value to clients.

* A highly supportive team environment where you're encouraged to ask questions, learn fast, and shape a career path that matches your ambitions.
* Support for professional memberships and continued education (including guidance toward professional accreditation where relevant).
* Employee‐owned business where our people have a real stake in the quality of our work, culture, and long‐term success.
* Internal training programmes plus mentoring to help set goals and track progress.
* Vibrant social culture including an active social club, supporting a healthy work‐life balance.
