What are we looking for?
Our culture and values are what make Hoare Lea such a great place to work, so see whether they match with how you approach things. We are looking for friendly, ambitious and confident people, with a flexible and resilient attitude.

Our graduates
Having joined Hoare Lea as a graduate mechanical engineer in 2006, I always had the support, inspiration, and opportunities I needed to progress my career and develop as a professional. Now 12 years later I’m a team leader and associate, leading teams of engineers to deliver projects. I also provide mentoring and leadership to enable today’s graduates to become chartered engineers.

Hoare Lea encourages you to design in a new way, promoting discussion, collaboration and creativity. Since joining the Healthcare team, I have been positively challenged and I have worked on concept and technical stage design. Every day has been different, and I have never stood still; working here is truly energising.

Graduate Engineer
I joined Hoare Lea as a graduate in 1999 after graduating with an MEng in Industrial Engineering from the University of Surrey. I was afforded great opportunities to learn, develop, and lead projects and teams in the early stages of my career and obtain my CEng. I am now the Managing Partner of the Bournemouth office which encompasses many responsibilities including overseeing the development of future generations of leaders of the firm.
