Careers at CEI

Build your career, built together.

Join the Team

We're always looking for good people.

As a company committed to growth, we're always looking to enhance our workforce. We've built our reputation on qualified, directly employed staff who take pride in the work, and we'd rather bring good people in and develop them than chase short-term hires.

Whether you're a time-served engineer, a project manager or just starting out as an apprentice, there may be a place for you at CEI, working from our Hedge End head office on projects across the South Coast and beyond.
