Construction Services Careers Centre

After leaving the army, I got a Bricklaying Apprenticeship and progressed to to become a Site Manager. With 18 years site management experience I joined Esh Property Services in September 2018. What I enjoy about my role is meeting new people and no two days are the same.

As a qualified civil engineer, I have managed construction projects in my native country, Syria, in the Middle East and the UK; this has given me an insight into different international standards, processes and requirements. I joined Esh in 2015 and have completed a number of training courses which I found useful - I sometimes face communication issues but I am completing self-study English to help overcome this.

Esh is a very diverse business with capabilities across many sectors and long term business partners, but equally important, it's a company that was proud of it’s family ethos and cared about the community it worked in. I’m pleased what I saw from the outside is now what I experience every day at work.

I have been supported to achieve a degree; I progressed from a Trainee Surveyor, then to Head of Architectural Design. No day is ever the same, which makes it a challenge but exciting.

I joined the training team as an Apprentice Administrator. I have achieved a Level 2 and Level 3 Apprenticeship in Business & Administration and progressed into the role of a Training Coordinator.

I've worked for Esh since 2013 and completed an Apprenticeship during that time. A typical day for me is providing first line support on the IT Helpdesk, setting up equipment and keeping stock organised.

My role involves engaging with key clients to ensure that community-based programmes and initiatives are undertaken. I thoroughly enjoy creating, as well as implementing, a communications strategy to showcase all content created.

Esh's ethos is what attracted me to the position, I take pride in the integrity of the business not just in the quality of the work but in the professionalism of the team. At Esh the environment is one of inclusion, with everyones input being respected and valued. Having worked in the industry for 14 years - for main contractors and developers, working on residential, educational and commercial schemes - joining the team at Esh has been a perfect fit.

I started working for Esh in 2015 after making the jump from consultancy to contracting. I currently work as a Contracts Manager in the housing sector and genuinely value the different challenges I encounter every day, the fantastic team I work with and the support I’ve had to further my career.

Being part of the Major Projects Civils team has progressed my career, allowed me to increase my knowledge in multiple disciplines, and for the first time have a work life balance within the industry. Esh promotes teamwork, collaborative planning and innovation at site level. Hard work, perseverance and the love of learning every day is the key to my success.

I have worked for Esh for 6 years, is started as an Apprentice Quantity Surveyor and now work as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor whilst completing my degree and RICS Chartership. I was lucky enough to be shortlisted for National Young Tradesperson of the Year 2017 and attended the final ceremony in Birmingham.
