Testimonials

“Working for Encompass as a graduate engineer has been a fantastic experience. Belonging to a small company has provided me with opportunities from both a career development and networking perspective, which I wouldn’t have been able to get at a larger engineering company. I’m grateful that I’ve been given opportunities to lead a team and develop as an engineer without limitations, learning from industry experts along the way.”
