Junior Design Engineer Building Services
Leeds
£20000.00 - £25000.00 per annum + see main body
This post Junior Engineer position is ideal if you have been able to start your career within Building Services but found your position has come to a temporary halt, that you have been made redundant or are still employed but unable to see a future with your current employer.There are many jobs posted as "unique opportunities" and many are in their own way, but few are genuinely unique. This one possibly is due to the size of the business, the nature of the work and simply the way that they do things.If you want to work for a practice that genuinely embraces the ethos of low impact design and have a passion for delivering the best solution while working closely with a client who is not looking for the minimal level of compliance we need to speak.You are going to need to be capable of carrying out design calculations and willing to learn how to use Revit if you are not already familiar with the package. I have not specified a discipline as they are flexible; as a practice they are all ambidextrous and able to design both mechanical and electrical building services.In this post you will be developing your prime discipline skills while also becoming capable in the opposite discipline - a direction that some forward thinkers are saying the industry needs to move in. In addition you should be well versed in a range of low energy solutions for a range of non-domestic applications but also be keen to apply your knowledge to other situations.This is a practice that values engineering skills and ethics while being well known for theirs; they are the antithesis of those organisations that focus on getting projects out of the door quickly knowing that they will have to repair the damage shortly afterwards...Their package includes 30 days holiday (plus stats), 6% pension contribution, profit share and they are also happy to speak with people who are after part time options. This isn't a lifestyle business, but they certainly provide fantastic lifestyle choices.While reading the above, you would be correct in thinking that this organisation is special and is made up in a different way from many others and you would be right. To discuss just how different they are and their values, please don't hesitate to make contact so we can discuss not so much your next role, but how you can change your way of life.Calibre Search promote equality in the workplace and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified candidates regardless of their sex, race, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age.

Meet the Team: Simon Owen
Meet the Team: Simon Owen  Simon Owen, Director of Building Services, has been recruiting since 1998 within the Building Services, Facilities Management, Energy Management and Sustainability sectors.    We wanted to give you a little bit more information about our Simon, and when we caught up with him in a short but sweet Q&A style interview, here’s what he had to say…   What would your clients say about you? Persistent, honest and reliable (I hope!)   Do you have any advice for anyone who wants to get into recruitment?  Think about your motives; what do you want from your career? What do you think recruitment is? Can you ride the rollercoaster of a role where your success is reliant on the decisions of other people? It isn’t an easy career, but it is hugely rewarding!    What's the hardest interview question you have ever heard?  “Do you have any questions?” It is the most easily anticipated (every interviewer will ask it), but flummoxes so many people.    What are the most common mistakes you see job hunters make?   Apart from failing to prepare for the “Do you have any questions?” question, the other aspect where job hunters miss a trick is by not asking themselves “would I honestly appoint me to the role that I am applying for?”    When applying for a post you should really look to achieve at least 7 out of the 10 of the criteria for your application for it to be worth making. The other big thing is that some people can be very cagey when speaking with a recruiter about different motives and parts of their job search, which can result in the recruiter not being able to represent them most effectively; it’s best to be completely open as a good recruiter will be able to advise on all aspects and help emphasize your assets to ensure the best outcome.   Your favourite guilty pleasure TV show? I don’t really watch a lot of TV, but if Fantomworks or Police Interceptors are on, it’s not unknown for me to watch three or four on the bounce – especially if I’m doing the ironing...   Describe your perfect Sunday? My perfect Sunday would be when I have the chance to cycle 100 miles or more on hilly roads with glorious scenery. This would then be followed up by a meatless Sunday Roast with my family - who needs meat when there are roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, and Yorkshire puddings?   What's the song that gets you motivated in the morning? Anything played loud! But my personal favourites would be: “Feel the love” by Rudimental and John Newman; “Let’s get rocked” by Def Leppard; and “Sometimes” by Sound of Guns.   Describe your job in three words. Personal, giving and rewarding.   If you’re looking for a role in the Built Environment sector, Simon’s expertise can support you in taking the next step in your career.   Connect with Simon on LinkedIn    Browse Simon’s available jobs here

The value of halo projects to UK skills
Here are the views of our Principal Transportation Consultant, Dan Brokenshire, following the announcement that HS2 has been confirmed.   The confirmation of HS2 is undoubtedly great news for the industry; it’s halo projects like this that allow the maintenance and intergenerational transfer of skills upon which the UK’s construction and engineering reputation is built. The secondary and perhaps less obvious bi-product of the commitment to this new railway is the fact that it will create work, catalyse innovation and persuade the next generation to get into the industry. Phase 1 and 2a will now be worked on simultaneously which will allow regeneration projects to commence, good news for both associated industries and local communities.   HS2 could be a unique showcase of the UK’s ability to deliver projects of a scale which of late have only been seen in Asia and the Middle East. The economic impact of inward investment will no doubt encourage companies to invest in their people, build exportable skills, catalysing activity throughout the value chain. The announcement last week was essentially one of opportunity creation as well as a brave political step. If you reflect on the last two big rail projects - Cross Rail (budget est. £20bn) and the Channel Tunnel (budget est. £12bn in today’s money) this is a seriously long-term play.   We have been supporting clients with the provision of manpower on the project for some time and look forward to doing so in future but for the scheme to be a success there needs to be joined-up thinking between all interested parties. This needs to widen the employment pool to include international talent, upskilled workers from similar industries and the yet-trained workforce of tomorrow. As recruiters, we can see the potential land grab of talent over the horizon as consultancies and contractors look to bolster their ranks and position themselves as ready to take on the task.   I’m sure there will be challenges ahead, but it bodes well for an industry which is having to diversify constantly as the built environment is redefined by legislation, technology, and use.   Feature image Source: SIEMENS/ PA, from BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51443421

John Cassidy: Avoid the 7 year itch
Avoid the 7 year itch… In a world where people jump from job to job and businesses struggle to keep hold of key talent, we talk to Calibre’s Associate Director John Cassidy, about what’s kept him at Calibre as he celebrates 7 years in the business.   How did you get into recruitment? I didn’t go to university, which made it a challenge to get my foot in the door of the recruitment industry. When I left school I started as an administrator for a big recruitment agency in Leeds and then went to work in administration for a car dealership. But I’d caught the recruitment bug. I’d seen the business in practice and knew that hard work could literally pay off. Most agencies were just looking for grads, but Calibre saw passed this. They could see I was ambitious and willing to put the work in, and they gave me a chance.    What support did you get? Calibre don’t just leave you to sink or swim, which I know can happen in some agencies. They broke down the business into sizeable chunks and offered training and support all the way through. They helped me gain the skills I needed to run my own desk and then eventually run my own team. I’m now building that team, with four of us so far, and hopefully six by Q1 next year. There’s a really clear promotion path and you always know where you stand.    What do you enjoy about working at Calibre? They’re a good bunch of people. Everyone gets on, no sniping, or politics. It’s not your typical recruitment agency with high pressure and no mistakes allowed. You get lots of support. There’s a good social aspect too with nights out, incentives and the Christmas and summer do.   I was one of the first employees outside of the leadership team, so it’s always felt like a really personable company. As we’ve grown, the directors have managed to get the balance right between being friends and leaders. They don’t leave anyone in the lurch, they’ll try and help them and identify why things aren’t quite right.   We don’t have a high turnover of staff and the directors really care about the people they employ. In lots of companies, you’d never be able to challenge a director, but here, they listen to you and take your opinions on board. It’s great to feel comfortable to voice your opinions.    How have Calibre kept you here? There are places to go at Calibre. I’ve never hit a ceiling. Every time I’ve hit a target, I can ask what’s next and there’s a clear path showing me what I need to do to get there. There are no limits, no blockers. Plus the fact that there’s a good atmosphere in the office every day.    What’s been the highlight of your seven years with them? Lots – the money you can earn by working hard is a good thing. Coming to the office and it being a nice place to work - I’ve never clock watched. The basic fact that it’s a great environment is a massive highlight I don’t take for granted.   What would you tell someone thinking about working in recruitment? You need to have a good work ethic. You can teach recruitment and how to run a desk, but you can’t teach people to work hard. If you’re willing to work hard, that’s half the battle.  Be wary about which company you go to. Lots of companies take people on and chew them out again. It can give recruitment a bad name and can damage your confidence. Do your research and look for a company that has the right values and gives you the support and training you need.  

The power of ‘thank you’
So…the Christmas season is upon us. For some, this is a time of crazy social gatherings, parties and having a jolly old time. For others, it might mean keeping your head down until it’s all died down and we’re safely into 2020.

Calibre Launch Talent Retention Survey 2020
Leading people search business launches the first national talent retention survey. “It might come across as ironic at first” says Mark Lyons of Calibre Search; “But we are actually in the business of helping clients build their workforce. If businesses are not able to retain staff then they are less likely to be attractive to candidates. In the built environment space we are operating in an unprecedentedly competitive sector with the competition including attractive, lucrative overseas opportunities. Highly skilled labour is in high demand, and employers are developing sophisticated ways to attract and above all retain people. You only need to look at opportunities to work when and wherever you want to see how the power has shifted from employer to employee in certain niche areas.”  The UK's most innovative, successful and fastest growing businesses in the built environment put people at the centre of strategy. But talent acquisition is time consuming, complex and increasingly competitive. Employee expectation is shifting beyond the parameters of traditional remuneration-based attraction and retention values. The Calibre Talent Retention Survey 2020 looks to provide a frame of reference for what constitutes current market value, how employers are developing their proposition and retaining key talent.  For the super-competitive UK sector which is so segmented by niche skills (architects, civil engineers, HVAC specialists, architectural specifiers, planners..) we now face unprecedented risk with the potential restriction of foreign skilled labour, visa controls and the threat of more competitive overseas employers influencing our internal labour markets. Brexit is however not the only factor, it's the general impact of globalisation and the way British qualifications and vocational experience is held aloft as the gold standard.  Mark said, “The inaugural Calibre Talent Retention Survey 2020 looks to help the industry better understand the key levers which influence employee attraction and retention. Collaborating with clients and partners across the industry we will be identifying the primary levers and assessing attitudes towards employee retention. It's so much more than the simple salary these days, it's a given you’ll be well remunerated, it's about the added value, flexibility and the broader opportunity.” Take the survey here.
