The Cundall Vertical Transportation team provides lift and escalator consultancy services for a wide range of building types, including data centres, airports, shopping centres, residential developments, and offices.
We are involved in all stages of construction projects, from the concept design of vertical transportation requirements to specification development and working with lift contractors to turn designs into reality.
We assess existing lifts and escalators and provide building owners with advice on necessary upgrades or replacements. We also offer expert advice and support to building managers for the operational management of lifts and escalators under maintenance, ensuring compliance with legislative requirements and planning future investments.
The Cundall VT team offers lift and escalator consultancy services as part of a coordinated multi-disciplinary design team or as a single-discipline consultancy service.
As a member of the Cundall VT team you will be supported by a team of experienced industry experts, will undertake further training to expand your skills and expertise, and be encouraged to work towards Chartered Engineer status. A personal desire and commitment to Continuous Professional development (CPD) is essential and will be supported including paid membership to relevant bodies such as the Society of Vertical Transportation, CIBSE, Association of Project Safety.

The successful candidate will have a passion for delivering excellence, exceeding client expectations, and be willing to learn and challenge their peers.
Experience in the lift and escalator field is essential, as lone working and safe working on lifts are role requirements. NVQ3 or NVQ4 qualifications are preferred, although EOR202 or relevant experience will be considered.
