Company Information
Our organisation was created in 1990 as a vendor of integrated modelling software to the energy industry. Since then, we have built up a hugely successful business with more than 450 clients across the world, ranging from small consultancies to major multinational corporations. In our last trading year, the company turned over £66m and has significant cash reserves which are to be held for future expansion.
In this regard, we see an exciting future which embraces the challenges around energy transition technologies and renewables. In addition, we see huge scope in applying the lessons that we have learnt within this industry to other sectors, notably mining, banking, renewable energy, and medicine.
With this in mind the company is on the cusp of a major expansion. Part of this involves the relocation of the headquarters of PE Limited (Petex) from Edinburgh to Guildford in Surrey, to take advantage of the improved travel links, recruitment possibilities, and links to London. Our Guildford office is open as of September 2024, and is set to become the company headquarters in September 2025.
Package
Our package offers a competitive salary plus other benefits, including performance related bonus and company pension.
