Why settle for a job when you can build a career?

I joined Esh after completing an English Degree at University.

I have worked in several different roles in my time at Esh including working in our Bid Team; submitting tenders, creating case studies and CVs, working as a commercial assistant on one of our major frameworks, helping to form a collaborative team. I have also had some experience working in our customer team.

I greatly appreciate how the company adapted and has grown since the global pandemic as I now have a better work/life balance and enjoy working from home. My managers and colleagues have also been very flexible in my return to work after maternity leave and have made the transition easy for me which I am very grateful for.

I joined Esh over 20 years ago at the ripe young age of 18 straight from sixth form. I started as an Assistant Setting-Out Engineer then progressed through multiple roles to Contracts Manager moving around within the business gaining knowledge of the different sectors.

I have recently been promoted to Construction Manager covering General Civils projects ranging in value from approximately £500k up to £8m.

My role covers all aspects of construction management involved in delivering multiple high quality schemes simultaneously and coordinating between all project parties to achieve our overall objective. This includes factors such as health and safety and ensuring our work does not affect the local environment and natural ecology.

Before joining Esh I worked as an office manager for a small family run building company.

I am responsible for regulatory matters including document control, 3rd party engagement, ensuring our cloud based Viewpoint system is accurate and up to date and providing relevant paperwork to clients at scheme handover stage.

I would recommend Esh to anyone considering a career in construction. We have a wide variety of job roles and colleagues can use their transferable skills to work on different projects - we are one big team, and no two days are the same.

Before joining Esh in 2000, I was a HGV mechanic for a local stone quarrying company. I started as workshop foreman before being promoted to workshop manager.

My role is primarily to keep our fleet operational and compliant, but I also get involved with all sorts of things from purchasing new vehicles to repairing office windows and everything in between.

I really like the variety which comes with my role, and the ongoing training and development opportunities Esh provide all staff. I would recommend Esh because of its values and its committed staff, plus there are some good staff benefits on offer.

I joined Esh in 2015 as an Apprentice Administrator working in the Group's training team. After completing my apprenticeship in Business & Administration, I progressed into the role of a Training Coordinator.

Now, I work across a number of training and development processes, from maintaining our workforce's training passports by organising wide range or fit for purpose training courses, to managing certification and grant claims to the recruitment and development of apprentices and graduates.

I enjoy meeting new recruits and following them through their apprenticeships and degrees, supporting them and their line managers, watching them grow and progress.

I worked in Civil Engineering for nearly 40 years prior to joining Esh in 2020 as a contracts manager on a flagship infrastructure scheme in Sunderland - a project close to my home which offered a fine work life balance.

Today I oversee several civil engineering projects ensuring they are suitably resourced and managed. My role is very rewarding; I get involved at the concept stage of a project, support the construction phase and enjoy seeing the finished article - something which I will never tire of.

I work with a fabulous group of people every day, all with a common goal to provide a professional service with a quality end product for our clients. I can honestly say the last two and a half years have flown by, at times they have been challenging, yet on reflection some the most enjoyable of my career, largely due to great coworkers.
