The company:
One of my good clients in Kent - a building services consultancy has grown into a well-respected and highly successful practice based in Edenbridge, and they are looking for a MEP Clerk of Works to join their team.
In 2004, the business became a limited company and developed a strong reputation within the healthcare sector. Continued growth and diversification followed, expanding into commercial, leisure, and residential markets.
After nearly three decades of success, the company underwent an internal management buyout in 2016, with the original founders retiring and a new leadership team taking the helm. This team remains committed to delivering high-quality service to clients and professional collaborators.
The consultancy has built a wealth of experience across various sectors, with particular expertise in healthcare, laboratory, and education projects. A strong portfolio of repeat business and long-term client relationships reflects the consistent, trusted service provided over the years.
