Background information

Starting a new job is exciting, and sometimes daunting! We want you to have a productive and enjoyable career with the practice, and we are committed to providing you with the support and encouragement that you need to do this.

“Ideal” is Cundall’s induction programme, which begins here, shortly before you arrive for your first day.

The aim of this pack is to provide you with some key relevant information about the practice that you can read before you start, and a tailored induction programme that will meet your specific needs during your first three months with us.

We would encourage you to read through this pack before you start, and we hope that it will give you some useful information about the business. We have scheduled some specific appointments for you for the weeks after you join us, and we hope that these will help you to settle in quickly.

Your line manager will contact you during your first month to check that you are settling in, and to see whether you need any more information or support. HR are always interested in employees’ views, and so do take this opportunity to give us some feedback (good or bad) about your induction.

Who we are

Cundall was founded in Newcastle over 40 years ago. From day one, our goal has always been to work with likeminded clients and project partners to create and deliver design solutions that exceed expectations.

We are known throughout the industry for our high level of client service, commitment to continuous professional development and continued investment in the future.

We are a dynamic business, growing organically, and truly independent.

From the outset, we have maintained a tradition of delivering excellence.

There is no doubt that our people are Cundall’s strength. Professional integrity and the commitment of inspired, motivated people are all vital to our success.

We like people to get involved, be empowered with responsibility and be given the space for creativity to develop. We have built our reputation for pushing boundaries to get the best solutions for our clients by sharing this dynamic, inclusive approach and enthusiasm with other consultants and collaborators.

Our people

We have ambitious plans for the future, and we will only achieve these through the talent, hard work and dedication of everyone who works in the business.

Our ultimate aim is to build a sustainable business, and so we are committed to attracting, retaining and developing the best and the brightest, across all parts of the practice.

We aim to provide an environment where people will want to stay for the long term. One where they will be confident that they will get the support they need to become real experts in their field, to flourish professionally and personally, and to grow their own career.

A key part of our strategy is to work with our people to develop a culture of continual development, in which each and every individual is given excellent support to help them to reach their full potential. “Ideal Start” is the beginning of that process.

Understanding our business

Sometimes it’s difficult to understand the nature of a new business if you have never worked in that particular field before. Our aim is to give you a basic understanding of what we do.

Our business is to provide high quality advice and expertise in the design of mechanical, electrical, structural and civil engineering for buildings and other construction projects. Our firm provides these services solely in the interests of its clients, having no commercial attachments to any contractor or manufacturer.

The work that is undertaken can range from site surveys to the engineering design of offices, factories, hospitals, university buildings, schools, and leisure centres. Indeed, there are very few building types for which Cundall have not had involvement.

We are primarily designers, we prepare design drawings, specifications and contract documents so that contractors can bid competitively for the construction and installation work. Once contracts are placed, Cundall normally inspect the works to ensure that they are in accordance with the drawings and specifications we provided.
