Careers
Engineering Software Excellence
We pride ourselves on the fact that our engineers are not only highly experienced and capable, but also focused on the need to do an excellent job for our clients. This combination of ability and attitude sets us apart from our competitors – it is something we are keen to maintain and build upon. This is therefore reflected in our recruitment policy.
We are therefore always looking for engineers that:
- Have a good positive attitude and a pleasant manner
- Are flexible and accommodating, rather than set in their ways
- Are able to communicate effectively with a wide range of people, including those without an engineering or software background
- Have outside interests and a broad outlook on life
i.e. without wishing to be politically incorrect in any way we will favour applications from those who are not impenetrable introverts.
Contracting for Zircon
From time to time Zircon requires the use of contract staff. We maintain a database of contractors with details of their skills and experience. These are often people who we have worked with in the past, although we are always on the lookout for people with new skills to add to our capabilities.
No recruitment agencies.
The use of known contract staff allows us to quickly increase the size of teams in order to respond to our customers’ needs, and ensure that their timescales for delivery are met.
