I studied general engineering for my first two years at university, and specialised in civil, structural and environmental engineering in the final two years. My Masters project focused on high rise timber buildings, and the timber engineering we do here is one of the main reasons I decided to apply
There’s a really good atmosphere in the office, but I like the flexibility to choose between working from home and coming into the office.
Everyone is supportive of taking opportunities to learn, helping to explain things even when they aren’t directly relevant to the project at hand. I like the focus we have on sustainability in design, and that we push for greener alternatives wherever possible.
Since beginning work here, I’ve been involved in designing quite a few timber schools and office buildings. I like being involved in projects where sustainability is a real focus. It’s really cool to go on a site visit and see people building something you’ve designed.”
A typical day at Engenuiti can look very different depending on the stage of the project, or how big the projects are. There are opportunities to get involved in lots of different types of projects, some need lots of hand calculations, some need lots of drawing, some need lots of computer modelling. It makes it easier to gain experience in a wide variety of areas, and you’re not likely to be stuck on the same thing for long enough to get bored.
