Careers


We value openness and honesty, so we listen to (and learn from) our employees.

Everyone, from the newest trainee upwards, is encouraged to realise their full potential, and to become a pro-active participant in the quality service that we deliver.

Rewarding commitment and performance

Building Services employees are amongst the most experienced, dedicated and highly trained in our industry. We value our people, building on individual strengths to develop and reward commitment and performance at every stage. Career opportunities are diverse - from management, engineering and administration, through to apprenticeships and traineeships.

Our size and infrastructure enable each of our divisions to draw on the technical, engineering and commercial skills of the others. It's an approach where everyone benefits. The customer benefits from broader, more effective and personalised solutions. The employee benefits from a more rewarding and fulfilling career.

BUILD

Building Services is committed to recruiting local people for local jobs. We work closely with BUILD - an initiative for the construction industry and allied trades. BUILD is aimed at local people looking for work in Kirklees and offers advice and support throughout the recruitment process and during training.
