About the company

My client is a multi-disciplined Civil Engineering contractor turning over £80M + who specialises in highways maintenance, highways infrastructure, traffic management, rail, and the environmental sector. They are moving into groundworks and earthworks as part of the growth plans for the business and have projects running near Nottingham and Colchester. These projects range in value from £2M - £13M. The company is huge on the long-term stability and career progression of its team. This is helped by the repeat business they get in Surrey, Sussex, Nottinghamshire, and Hampshire which is a result of their high standard of work. They get a lot of repeat business with main contractors such as Kier & Balfour Beatty as well as dealing directly with Highways England and many local authorities. It is also helped by the close bond from the management team down to the engineers.
