About the Role

ABOUT CDC

Cahill Design Consultants is a privately owned, multidisciplinary engineering consultancy based in Colchester, delivering fire engineering, acousticdesignand facade engineering services for over 12 years.

The focus is on quality work and building a team that can sustain it.

We were named Best Place to Work at the 2023 CN Workforce Awards, which means more to us at this size than it would at a much larger firm. We have held Flexa Careers accreditation for three consecutive years, with an 88% employee-led score. We are ISO 9001:2015 registered and in 2025 donated 1% of turnover to charity, with 118 hours of team volunteering.
