I applied online. I interviewed at Barhale (London, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview was good, the two interviewers were very engaging and conversational, only downside is the technical question was very limited and not much given to work with in terms of scenario.

Question 1
I would like to dig two holes and a tunnel to connect them both, I leave you alone with the client ask them questions.
The second-stage interview was very detailed and competency-based, with a strong focus on real project examples, NEC commercial processes, and how I handle pressure and commercial decision-making. The panel explored my experience in Compensation Events, cost control, and working with contractors and clients. It was a challenging but very fair interview, and it gave me a good opportunity to demonstrate my commercial thinking, communication skills, and suitability
