Who we are
4c Engineering are a close-knit, supportive team of creative engineers who love getting stuck into challenging technical problems and coming up with high quality solutions.
We maintain a focus on projects and ideas with genuine, useful benefits, whether that’s in sustainability, environment, healthcare, efficiency, or a more user-friendly design.
We are also committed to raising up the next generation of talented engineers, and have very much enjoyed accommodating summer students over the last few years.
Our background
Founding Directors Andy Hall and Jo Wilson both honed their engineering skills across a range of challenging fields in renewables technology development, and, following the downsizing of the marine energy developer they were previously working for, decided that keeping a great team together was preferable to going their separate ways.
Built on the foundation of several successful collaborative projects, the partnership with 4c Design in Glasgow provided an obvious complementary fit of creative design with rigorous engineering and analysis. Our team in Inverness has now grown to six.
“So are you just wave energy, then?”
In a word: No!
Working in small teams delivering complex R&D programmes in a challenging new field demands flexibility, and the ability to apply ourselves to just about any aspect of engineering as required: from product design and CAD draughting to design and execution of experimental test programmes, through to advanced simulation and analysis. This has given us a fantastic grounding in the physics and engineering fundamentals required to deconstruct and tackle any engineering problem, and with the range of projects we’ve been involved over the last few years, we have proven our ability to immerse ourselves in any technical problem, regardless of sector.
