Planner – The Company
An excellent opportunity to join a leading multi-regional main contractor experiencing significant growth across Wales and the wider UK.
The business specialises in the delivery of complex refurbishment projects, with around 70% of its current workload focused on major cladding replacement and building remediation schemes on high-rise buildings. Alongside this, they deliver a broader range of refurbishment and fit-out projects across multiple sectors.
This is a fast-growing, entrepreneurial contractor with a strong secured pipeline and ambitious plans for continued expansion. They offer an excellent environment for someone looking for genuine responsibility, exposure to technically challenging projects and strong long-term career prospects.
