Parkinson Gray Associates delivers a proven service to some of the leading Consulting Engineering and Contracting businesses within the British construction industry, predominantly across the Building Services, Energy and Sustainability sectors.

Our client, founded in 2010, is an independently owned multidisciplinary design consultancy that has flourished through a commitment to quality, innovation, and cultivating engineering excellence.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines effectively.
Enthusiasm for mentoring and developing junior engineers.
