Our ELV Consultancy plays a key role in digitally enabling the built environment to provide a technologically enhanced environment commensurate with our clients' needs. We pride ourselves on being a market leader in our field, working globally with high profile clients in fin tech, HQ offices, smart campuses, and smart buildings. Our reputation has led to us advising on global technology benchmarking and technological certification of buildings.

We – both in Poland and globally – work across a range of market sectors including workspace and residential, mission critical and academia, work that has seen us feed into the new technical approach for UK schools and assessing smart systems for the technical evolution of Muscat in Oman.

Operating globally, our Team is based in Central London right next to St Paul's Cathedral, Warsaw, Dubai close to Dubai Marina, in the heart of Singapore near Orchard Central, and in Hong Kong a short walk from Victoria Harbour.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced ELV Consultant with the ability to engage and interact with stakeholders at different levels, joining our Poland Warsaw team to play a leading role in ensuring the successful delivery of innovative design solutions, whilst providing technical and team leadership.

You will collaborate within the wider Cundall team and external partners, working closely with colleagues of various disciplines to help manage the delivery of technically excellent and successful projects.

The role will include managing engineers to deliver designs, technical reviews, stakeholder engagement, and monitoring fee and programme for projects. You will be involved in QA processes, establishing deliverables, mentoring, and work winning activities. Using your expertise and determination, you can manage, motivate, and inspire less experienced engineers.

You will also support, and be supported by, senior management staff within the team, embracing the collaborative and supportive behaviours Cundall exhibit.
