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.

These days, engineering is a lot more than pipes and wires; we look at the building as a whole and are involved in every stage, from initial client discussions right through to construction and even the building’s ongoing performance.
