Senior Engineer

Reinforced Concrete (RC) Frame & Groundwork Package
The initial project is in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE28
About the Employer
Having been established for over 30 years within the specialist field of concrete frames and groundworks, this business is, without doubt, one of the leading names within this field. Current turnover is over £100m per annum, and they have consistently worked at the cutting edge of the sector to be one of the best at what they do. They currently complete packages ranging in value from £10m up to £50m each on a mixture of residential, commercial, educational, and leisure projects throughout London, and further around the UK in Cambridgeshire, Birmingham, and other areas. This business prides itself on its high repeat business rate and its in-house capability to take complex projects from design through to completion. I would highly recommend this business as a polished environment where individuals can grow and flourish, working on some of the best and most iconic projects in the UK. And it is worth pointing out that I have never had anyone decide to leave this business in their first 12 months after joining, which shows how stable and successful this company is.
