Their portfolio of clients covers diverse areas such as National Security and the Public Sector, through to commercial industries such as Telecommunications, Utilities and Pharmaceuticals.

Based in Guildford or Gloucester as a Graduate Engineer, you will work in small teams contributing to all stages of the development lifecycle.
