The Company
My client is a well-established and well-respected Main Contractor. Due to their continued success and organic expansion plans they are looking to recruit a Site Foreman to join their Swindon Property Services team, which specialises in projects from £150 up to £300k, with a high proportion of business coming from a network of core clients.
Operating from their Swindon regional office they deliver design and build, new build and refurbishment projects up to £25m in value across most sectors including but not limited to; Education, Arts and Culture, NHS, Sports & Leisure, Commercial and MOD works. Contracts are split evenly between traditional and design & build, with a high proportion of their work (up to 60%) being won on a negotiated basis. They take pride in providing a quality product to their clients and also take pride on their high level of staff retention.
They consider themselves to have the professionalism of a PLC but the flexibility of a regional contractor. Taking a non-adversarial approach to their work has resulted in a very strong order book with a good proportion of repeat business from their clients.
