Working for Cogeo has provided me with the opportunity and support to take responsibility for my own work, while having the space to constantly learn new skills. By being involved in and leading a wide range of projects it means every day is full of new and exciting challenges. I enjoy working for the company as there is a real sense of teamwork with every team member aligned and heading towards the same goal, while also individually gaining experience in many different areas of the business. Working for a company where you are given the opportunity to take pride in your work and somewhere where your strengths are always valued was vital to me, and this is what I have found at Cogeo.
There are many things that make Cogeo a standout place to work from other employers. For me, it’s the challenge of each new project that comes our way that allows us all to work collectively as a team and build our knowledge, enhancing the services that we provide to our clients. No two projects are the same, which keeps the job interesting.
The positive company culture was clear from the outset, with defined career growth and a good work-life balance. Having no previous experience within the planning sector can be daunting however the team at Cogeo have been very supportive, where ‘no question is a silly question’ is the general attitude of the team. This positive attitude from colleagues helped me develop my planning & environmental knowledge and gain confidence in my ability as a graduate.
It is a pleasure working with like-minded people who all share similar goals of supporting one another, creating a transparent and honest place to work where you can grow professionally surrounded by a supportive network of consultants.
