We occasionally require Mechanical Design Engineers, but have no opportunities at present. If you would like to be considered for a future position, please send your CV to us and we will keep it on file should any suitable roles become available.
The Company
Bennett Associates was acquired in 2008 by Atkins; bringing their proven technical expertise to the UK’s leading engineering consultancy.

It’s a chance to have your influence felt at every turn and in a variety of sectors.
Acting as the technical lead on a number of concurrent projects, you’ll not only ensure excellence of analysis, design and delivery – you’ll guide, mentor and coach junior members of our close-knit, collaborative team. We’re looking for graduate-calibre, IMechE chartered engineers with substantial professional experience underpinned by proven client-facing skills.
If you’re inspired by the opportunity to stretch your technical skills every step of the way, find out more and apply here.
