Every commission was delivered on time and to a high standard, improving building usability, reducing energy consumption, and directly supporting the council’s sustainability objectives. If you’re excited by the opportunity to shape sustainable, impactful building services projects like these, we’d love to hear from you!

- Managing complex workloads and promote collaboration across disciplines
- Deliver smart, cost-effective solutions that meet client expectations.

Desirable (but not essential)
- NEBOSH, IOSH, SMSTS, SSSTS, HNC/HND, degree, trade, or similar
- Experience reading drawings, specifications, or risk assessments
- Experience working with contractors, consultants, or clients
- Basic awareness of CDM 2015
Training & development
This is where Align really stands out.
We’ll support your development with:
- Structured CDM 2015 training
- Mentoring from experienced CDM and Principal Designer professionals
