      What Our Engineers Say About Working for STILL:
      STILL works well for me because the hours suit my lifestyle and I have a better home/work life balance.

      In my previous role I often worked shifts which included weekends/nights, this made making plans with family difficult. Annual leave was challenging to take unless booked a year in advance and working bank holidays was a requirement.

      Great salary and the support of the team here is invaluable.
