Proficiency in AutoCAD is essential with a working knowledge of Revit preferred. You should be proficient with the Adobe Suite of programs. A working knowledge of NBS would be useful.

We have an active inhouse CPD programme which includes office-based and external visits. We encourage everyone to specialise, and support further learning to reach personal training goals.
