WHAT OUR GRADUATES SAY
“Pinnacle has provided me with the opportunity to develop my skillset as an engineer, manage my own projects, and represent the company in front of global clients. My contributions are valued and appreciated. Pinnacle is supporting me with ICE professional development, and I am working towards chartership with their support.”
Dan – Civil Engineer
“Pinnacle’s graduate programme has allowed me to work on challenging projects, giving me a platform to build towards chartership. I have grown my understanding of how structures are designed, and work collaboratively with other disciplines to complete projects. I use new technologies and structural design software to solve complex design issues.”
Shafaq – Structural Engineer
“Before graduating, I put a lot of thought into what sort of company I would like to work for. At Pinnacle, I found myself working in a great team and received valuable training tailored to my skills and knowledge, enabling progression into a senior role within the business.”
Zuzanna – Associate Engineer, Frankfurt office lead
“I iteratively designed an office block under the guidance of the team in London – meeting the clients, architects, and civil engineering teams to meet the client’s evolving needs. I also spent time with the sub-ground civil engineering team, then visited the live site, seeing the foundations I had designed being built.”
Max – Undergraduate intern
“Being trusted with live projects was insightful and I felt that I was having a real impact on the company. My mentor was always willing to help with any questions, and the programme was tailored to what I was most interested in and drawn to learn.”
