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.
