What believers are saying
- Working patterns include flexibility: BakerHicks explicitly offers flexible and hybrid working.
- Leadership development has a formal programme: BakerHicks describes peer training through employee accounts on its experienced-hire page.
- Graduates receive chartership guidance: the Motherwell civil and structural scheme offers tailored mentorship and assessment preparation.
What critics are saying
- Graduate eligibility is restricted: the Motherwell scheme excludes Graduate visa holders and candidates needing future Skilled Worker sponsorship.
- Security clearance affects eligibility: the senior mechanical building-services role requires obtaining and maintaining appropriate clearance.
- Design duties extend onto sites: the senior mechanical building-services role includes site surveys and construction-stage work.
What makes BakerHicks unique
- Design reviews become immersive: BakerHicks uses augmented and virtual reality to explore buildings before construction.
- Asset data survives handover: BakerHicks has a dedicated Asset Information Service covering verification, tagging and registration.
- Carbon analysis starts early: BakerHicks uses CarboniCa to identify design carbon hotspots.
