You’ll get financial benefits, including a generous 6% employer contribution to your pension (you must contribute at least 4%), and coverage by our group life insurance at 4 x your salary, from day one, at no cost to you. You can also choose to participate in our Tusker salary sacrifice car scheme, allowing you to make huge savings on leasing a brand new hybrid or electric car.

We care about our people’s health and wellbeing. We’ll pay for private medical insurance for you and your partner, with children able to be added at a low cost. We’re corporate supporters of the Lighthouse Club, the construction industry charity that offers a free helpline for construction workers and their families in crisis. 12% of our employees are trained Mental Health First Aiders. We also have an Employee Assistance Programme, which offers free support and advice, including counselling.

We care about our people’s development and career progression. Our employees are entitled to at least 6 days’ paid development every year, we have 10% of our employees on apprenticeships or sponsored degrees, we make substantial investment in internal and external courses, mentoring and coaching programmes, we pay for professional memberships, we’re rolling out development plans for every employee in the company, and we’re aiming to promote at least 10% of our headcount each year.
