WHY JOIN CUNDALL

Cundall was founded in Newcastle over 40 years ago. From

day one, our goal has always been to work with like-minded
clients and project partners to create and deliver design
solutions that exceed expectations. We are known
throughout the industry for our high level of client service,
commitment to continuous professional development and
continued investment in the future.

There is no doubt that our people are Cundalls strength. Professional

integrity and the commitment of inspired, motivated people are vital to our
success. We like people to get involved, be empowered with responsibility
and be given the space for creativity to develop. We have built our reputation
for pushing boundaries to get the best solutions for our clients by sharing
this dynamic, inclusive approach and enthusiasm with other consultants
and collaborators.

STAFF BENEFITS

We have a range of benefit arrangements across the

business, which vary on a country-by-country basis, to
reflect local regulations, custom and practice. What they all
have in common is a simple objective - to provide industry
competitive salaries and a great place to work.

Aside from the core benefits that we offer, we also like to think that we are
able to provide good social benefits too. The term all work and no play isnt
what we are about; opportunities to socialise with colleagues at team and
office level are readily available, and the Practice supports social activities
through the provision of a social fund. For instance, you could find yourself
attending one of our popular office yoga-classes, going paintballing,
go-karting, learning a new language or just enjoying some good food at a
BBQ. Our social committee always aims to arrange events that appeal to a
broad spectrum of individuals, so there will always be something to suit you!

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

At Cundall, we take the professional development of our

people very seriously. We believe that it is the commitment,
talent and motivation of our people that are key to delivering
success, and so as a Practice, we are keen to ensure that
our approach to training and development supports both
the needs of the business and the personal and professional
aspirations of our employees. We see our workforce as an
asset and so we believe that we should invest in that asset.

As well as structured training programmes for those at the beginning

of their careers and wishing to pursue Chartership, we support a range
of in-house and external professional development activities for our
engineering and support staff. We offer a range of training and development
opportunities from technical and skills training through to training leading
to a professional or academic qualification. If youve got the potential, well
help you achieve it.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is fundamental to Cundall and we strive to

provide our clients with practical advice and solutions which
reduce the environmental impact of buildings and provide
better spaces for the people who inhabit them.

We are extremely proud of the fact that we are the worlds first consultancy
to be formally endorsed as a One Planet Company by sustainability charity
BioRegional. As a company we applied the 10 One Planet Principles to
guide our commitment, actions and services.

We are committed to providing people with the knowledge, skills and

enthusiasm to make a difference: in our homes, our offices, our projects,
our industry and our community. Over the years, we have delivered many
exemplar green buildings and have built up an international sustainable
design expertise that is second to none.

THE CUNDALL ENVIRONMENT

The majority of us spend a large proportion of our lives at

work so its vital that we surround ourselves with a healthy
working environment. At Cundall, we take a lot of pride in
what we do as a Practice and we want our employees to feel
inspired by the offices they work in, which is why we are able
to offer modern, city-centre workspaces for all.

Most of our workspaces have recently been renovated which has provided
our engineers with the opportunity to develop fit-outs that promote a
creative, healthy and collaborative workspace.

One of our most notable fit-outs is for our new office space in London. Its
the first project in Europe to implement the WELL building principles to
the design of the fit-out, putting the health and wellbeing of the occupants
at the heart of the building design. The WELL Building Standard is a
performance-based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring
features of the built environment that impact human health and wellbeing,
through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind. Following
the successful completion of the fit-out, the London office has achieved
a SKA Gold and BREEAM Excellent Ratings and we are currently waiting
for final verification for what should be the first WELL Certified project in
Europe!

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We believe in running and developing our business in a

sustainable way, for the benefit of those who work in it.
We believe that our business interests are best served by
behaving responsibly towards all our stakeholders; clients,
staff, suppliers and the communities in which we operate.

As well as our commitment to improving the built environment - physically

and socially - we actively look for opportunities to improve the working lives
of our staff and contribute to the wellbeing of the wider community. It is this
commitment that lies at the heart of our approach to being a responsible
business. For instance, every year in the UK we take part in Give and Gain
Day which sees individuals across the varying offices taking part in local
projects - staff from the Edinburgh office took part in a beach clean-up,
the London office provided assistance in developing a playground at Grow
Wilds Somerville Youth and Play Provision, whilst the staff in the Newcastle
office helped to create a walkway, and built benches and steps at Bedes
World.

Volunteering isnt just bound to our UK offices; over in Sydney some of

the staff have formed a band to take part in Cundall Rocks - a competition
organised by Construction Rocks which aims to raise money for families
in Cambodia and young homeless people in Australia. A few of the team in
Bucharest took part in the Colour Run Topicolour to help raise money for
the non-profit organisations AIESEC and GROW.

8 Why Join Cundall

We are also committed to sharing our creative expertise with those around
us through the use of modern day technology. For example, Cundall
Conversations is an online platform that allows us to share our knowledge
with individuals within the construction industry, building owners,
occupants and the wider community. The blogs vary widely in content and
are composed by a range of people that work at Cundall, from Partners
and Directors who have been at the practice for over 20 years to our young
graduates, all seeking to share and discuss new ideas. They also represent
a wide range of locations, bringing thoughts on local, national and global
trends in the market.

We share a world. What we do in it, as engineers, will echo in our childrens

lives and down on through the years. Every day we create the futures
history. How we shape it, is up to us. We must hold responsibility as second
nature, in everything we do.

Cundall has been recognised as an Investor in People (IIP)

since 2000 and has recently celebrated being awarded
a Silver Accreditation, acknowledging the fact that our
approach to how we manage and develop our people goes
well beyond the basic requirements of the IIP standard in a
number of areas.

We have been praised for the approachability of our senior staff within
the business, right the way up to our Managing Partner as well as the
opportunities that exist for our people to grow and flourish (including
focused mechanisms for career-progression and a clear competency
framework describing what is expected of staff at different levels). We have
also been highly praised for our investment in the younger generation and
the graduate recruitment scheme we offer - demonstrating the development
of a strong pipeline of junior talent is a key part of our future plans for the
business.

Being awarded a Silver Accreditation is something that we are very proud

of as an organisation and is just one of the reasons why we think you would
