Join Our Team

Cundall are an award winning international multi-disciplinary consultancy, operating throughout the UK, Australia, Asia, MENA and Europe.

Our Building Services team's mission is to play a key role in making buildings more energy efficient, cost effective to run and, ultimately, more sustainable. Working across a variety of sectors our building services teams are a source of world leading expertise, producing innovative and award-winning sustainable engineering solutions throughout the lifecycle of any building project.

As a medium-sized but truly international consultancy, we are big enough to be able to provide a wide range of challenging projects for our staff, but still at a size where our students can be treated as individuals and given real responsibility at an early stage.
