"Attack each day, task and project like it’s your first". Building services engineers Whitecode Consulting infuses its employees with a passion for what they do and helps them gain the skills they need to do it confidently.

The Kent-based company – which provides engineering, sustainability and utilities consultancy to developers, government departments and local authorities – believes a ‘happy workforce is a productive one.’ It takes a holistic approach to employee wellbeing, from flexible working to fair remuneration and career-accelerating training.

Many engineers in the team of around 50 employees have worked their way up to senior management positions. And the company’s particularly proud of its in-house apprenticeship scheme, which takes students from local schools and supports them through an engineering degree.

And the consultancy is committed to supporting people’s career progression at whatever level they join the company. All training aligns with Whitecode’s Building Services Engineer career path, demonstrating the skills required to progress from apprentice to director.

Employees can learn from the directors’ ‘hands-on’ approach to projects and choose relevant one-day courses to five years of university study.

Staff at Whitecode Consulting are encouraged to balance home working with office life. They are also free to work around caring responsibilities or fitness classes.

And employees benefit from private healthcare, industry-benchmarked salaries that reflect the rising cost-of-living and a bonus scheme that rewards individual and company performance.
