Graduate at Engenuiti

I studied at the University of Bath, where there is a large emphasis on sustainable design. I applied to Engenuiti as I wanted to continue this type of learning and apply my values into practical design. It is inspiring to work with, and be mentored by, people who are so driven by these values and work hard to positively impact the construction industry.

I've had experience on various types of project, from small-scale renovations to large leisure centres. Working in a small practice like Engenuiti has allowed me to integrate into project teams and take on responsibility from early on. Smaller teams also allows for increased exposure to all aspects of the design process, and with the leadership team prioritising a versatile range of project experience for graduates, I feel I am on the way to becoming a well-rounded engineer.

What was really great about starting at Engenuiti was that, within the first week, I was already starting to work on an active project involving mass timber. This may sound daunting, and it was at first, but feeling like a key part of the team from such an early stage helped to give me a feeling of pride in what I was doing and made me feel like I was making a difference.

I have been involved in a variety of different projects, in each of which I was able to learn something completely new which was always very rewarding. From early on, I started work on detailed timber connection design which involved a lot of drawing and hand calculations. Having not done much on connection design at university, it was certainly a steep learning curve, however, I received great support whenever I felt I needed it and so the tasks always felt achievable.
