Jeremy Gardner Associates reviews

I have been working for JGA for almost two years now. The company has offered me a great potential to learn and develop as an engineer in a very friendly and social team, whilst being very flexible with my life work balance. Hard work pays well, with great salary and career progression potential at much earlier stages than other engineering disciplines. Working hours are good. Like all similar fields, there are times where a few more hours in the office are needed, however this is well appreciated and made up for with flexibility (within reason) to take paid time off for personal reasons (I.e doctors appointment). Due to being part of a much larger parent company, there is the best of both worlds, as there is potential to work in different offices globally, with an unlimited access to technical data and knowledge, whilst still enjoying the benefits of smaller companies such as opportunity to advance, flexibility, a more interpersonal work place culture, and being able to learn several different aspects of the business. Would definitely recommend to someone looking to become a competent fire engineer, and who would like to work for a respectable and ethical company.

Good career progression and great support from senior staff in development of knowledge and skills. Senior staff constantly spend time with junior engineers to help educate and assist with their development. Company wide mentoring program with each new engineer paired with a senior engineer who mentors and assist the new starter in their development. Early opportunity to get involved with wide range of projects and go out of the office to meetings, workshops and site visits. Very good social working environment with friendly and young team. The team get on very well and make the job very enjoyable often socialising outside of work and typically all going to the local pub on a Friday. Constant opportunity to work with all members of the team rather than specialist small groups. This allows engineers to pick up new skills and ways of working from a large number of experienced and knowledgeable staff. Opportunity to work with colleagues in other offices and also potential to complete secondments in various offices across the group. Recently acquired by Jensen Hughes which has resulted in an improvement in the IT facilities and further access to technical resources and staff in the US.
