Engineer Experience and Categories

KW has a total staff of 39 engineers working within their three offices. All are employed on a full-time basis except for three engineers who are employed for specialist work as and when it arises.

 

 


Over half of KW engineers have more than 10 years’ relevant experience, with a third of our engineering workforce having over 15 years’ relevant experience. Furthermore, a quarter of our engineers are UK chartered engineers.  


As a result of working at the ‘high technology’ end of the market, KW maintains a highly qualified workforce, with a minimum qualification to degree level and just under half with higher degrees. A quarter of our engineering workforce has PhD’s in specialist areas such as fluids, structures and soils including specialisation in FE modelling.  

We tend to classify our engineers using the generally recognised oil and gas/consulting and design engineering grades below:

• Graduates (0-3 years relevant experience)
• Engineers (3-5 years relevant experience)
• Senior Engineer (5-10 years relevant experience)
• Principal Engineers (more than 10 years relevant experience)

In addition, we also have categories which recognise the specialist nature of our services and related expertise of these engineers, namely:

• Consultant (10 years minimum specialist experience and higher degree)
• Technical Specialist (5 years min. specialist experience and higher degree)

Our Design Projects (pipelines and/or structures) are managed by dedicated Project Managers, who will normally be at a Principal Engineer level (i.e. with minimum 10 years’ relevant experience) and will also have a minimum three years’ project management experience.

Our
Consulting Projects are smaller in size and run using smaller teams (one to three engineers) and are generally managed by the individual senior specialist engineer and, depending on the complexity, this could either be the Consultant or the Technical Specialist.

Our experience by industry recognised categories is summarised in the table below, making up the total of our 39 engineers.

In addition to these standard categories, as noted above, we also categorise our personnel into two additional categories as a result of their specialist capabilities as shown in the table below.
