Senior Engineering Manager
22 Bishopsgate | London
Create a place where people thrive.
22 Bishopsgate is a people-focused workplace destination. The building is Europe’s first vertical village and accommodates a community of up to 12,000 occupiers and visitors, with a working assumption that the building will normally operate with about 9,000 personnel at any one time.
22 Bishopsgate’s proposition, creating a place where people thrive, is centred around fostering a new type of productivity underpinned by four central commitments; Health & Wellness, Learning & Education, Diversity & Inclusion and Sustainability & The Environment. With a focus on wellbeing and community, this proposition allows occupiers to benefit from the direct correlation between happiness at work and quality of workplace with an increase in productivity and creativity. It has been designed to put user experience and human interaction at the centre of its offer and is the first major London building to embody the structural and cultural shifts in how people work and live.
