In a nutshell, engineering consultancy is all about providing advice to positively impact our clients’ projects and businesses and the wider world around us. 

Why Frazer-Nash?

With the transition to net zero and the drive towards a more sustainable and more equitable society, the world is facing many challenges. Working with our clients, we are finding engineering and technology solutions, and getting a kick out of it as we do!

As a graduate, you will be a part of this and you will typically be working on multiple projects simultaneously, managing your time and accruing a wealth of experience and skills. Hence, no two days in Frazer-Nash will be the same. 

As a  Chemical Graduate Engineer you’ll be surrounded by a strong and supportive engineering community to help you deliver impact, learn, and excel. This community includes your graduate engineer peers and those in the first few years of their careers through to internationally recognised experts with many decades of experience. Given the multidisciplinary and collaborative nature of our work you will be supporting not just your immediate teams, but also in a range of other fields – whether it’s engineering, digital or human sciences, we’re an interesting bunch.
