Build things people never have to think about

Our engineers work on products that will still be in service when they retire: vault doors from the 1970s still open every morning, and some RC-12 cabinets from 1968 are still switching. We expect people to take that seriously, and we give them the time and training to do it properly.

Most of our people stay a long time. The average length of service is fourteen years, and three of the six division presidents joined as engineers or technicians. People move between divisions and countries more often than you might expect: Halsworth to Leiden, Toronto to Houston, Perth to orbit.

What we offer

• Pay benchmarked every year against the market in each country, and an annual bonus for every permanent employee.
• A pension or retirement plan with company contributions of up to 10 percent of salary.
• At least 25 days’ paid holiday, or the local equivalent, plus public holidays.
• Forty hours of paid training a year, and support for professional qualifications.
• Shares at a 15 percent discount through the employee share purchase plan.
