Job Title:
Software Engineer – solutions development and application

Company Introduction:
PDL Solutions (Europe) Ltd is a world-leading Engineering Consultancy, and its Digital Team is a dynamic, fast-growing team of Software Consultants developing novel and technically
demanding software for safety critical Engineering applications across a broad range of clients. We are experts in creating effective solutions to complex challenges for the oil and gas, nuclear, renewable energy, automotive and defence market sectors.

PDL is also home to our Analysis Expertise centre for all UK operations. We are a mechanical and software engineering consultancy with ~40 expert engineers.

In 2021 we became part of the Vulcain Group, headquartered in Paris, with nearly 6000 staff, operating in 17 countries worldwide, a truly Global brand, but at PDL we keep true to our values as a small but brilliant business.

The Opportunity:
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to gain experience in developing and applying cutting edge engineering software on some of the most technically demanding projects at many ‘blue chip’ European and US companies. We are looking for candidates that have ambition, imagination and skill in equal measure and will offer an exciting and varied career in a supportive but dynamic environment in exchange.

All graduate engineers will be enrolled on to the IET Membership and supported during the
professional development process, through which they will typically achieve CEng status within 4-5 years of graduation.
Candidates should be able to apply their skills across a wide range of problems and technologies in a fast-moving environment and have the ability to comprehend fundamental software engineering principles, but extensive software development experience isn’t essential – we’ll help you develop as far as your ambition will take you.

If you want a role that influences the engineering of the future, we would love to hear from you.

The PDL office is based in Hexham, Northumberland, which has easy road access via the A69 and either A1 (from Newcastle) or M6 (from Carlisle) with free onsite car parking. There is a rail link via Newcastle/Carlisle line, the office being a 10-minute walk from the railway station and there are regular buses along the A695 and A69, with the bus station a 10-minute walk away from the Hexham office.

Degree:
MEng (at 2:1 or above) in Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering

Number of Vacancies:
1 or 2

Interview Dates:
December 2024 – January 2025

Start Date
July – September 2024

Salary Range and Benefits:

• Starting salary of approximately £30,000 per annum
• 5% Contributory Pension Scheme
• Permanent Health Insurance (PHI)
• Flexible hybrid working
• Compressed workweek with a Friday off every two weeks

They will gain skills in software development as appropriate to their work. Where the summer placement progresses well, it is common for permanent positions to be offered to students about to begin their fourth year with starting dates the following summer.
