Toddington, Bedfordshire
About the Company:
This position will be based at our client's head office in Bedfordshire. The business currently turns over in excess of £100 million per annum, and has a reputation for a modern and quality-focused approach. They have live projects with a variety of the top house-builders in the UK and have a full pipeline secured for 2026. Having met the directors of the business, I can confidently say this groundwork contractor is looking to stand out from their competition, harnessing innovation, a fresh brand image, and a focus on being the best at what they do. I have heard this not only from people who work at this company, but also from people who work for several of the main competitors!

* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
* Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office and general digital organisation tools.
* Confident, professional, and able to work independently with minimal supervision.

They understand that everyone looks for progression as they make career moves, and the bracket listed above is negotiable (i.e. £30,000 – £55,000), plus the additions of a car allowance, pension, and bonuses will be available.
How to Apply:
I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector, and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete.
Alternatively, it would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR, nothing will be done with your CV/details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway (including who the employer is), but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to talk and discuss the option.

About Me, Your Consultant:
My name is Andrew Jackson, and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd. I have over 20 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time, I have specialised in the niche sectors of concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction, and demolition.
So, what does that mean for you? It means you won’t be trusting your career to someone who doesn’t understand the market. I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK, and I can not only introduce you, but I can also give you up-to-date information on each of them, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward. I’ve been doing this for a fair while now, and I’ve maintained a positive reputation doing what I do because I don’t tell people whatever it takes; I tell them the truth. My job is to get you the options you want, give you the information you need, and then let you decide what feels right
