Job description

From Forces to Foundations: Build Your Career in Construction with Hill

At Hill, we understand the discipline, teamwork and leadership that comes from life in the Armed Forces. Whether you're currently serving as a Cadet, Reserve, have completed a short-term service, or is a veteran ready for your next chapter, we recognise your strengths—and we see your potential.

That’s why we’re launching our Armed Forces programme: Structured pathway that supports your journey from Site Labourer to Site Manager, backed by an accelerated NVQ in Construction Site Management.

It’s more than a training scheme. It’s a long-term career with a business that values your skills, supports your growth, and gives you the tools to lead from the front—this time, on site.

What the programme offers:

• A clear route from entry-level to Site Manager
• Fully funded, accelerated NVQ qualification
• Hands-on experience across live residential projects
• A dedicated mentor and support network
• Competitive salary and benefits package from day one
• Opportunities to work across some of the UK’s most forward-thinking construction sites
• Long-term career development with one of the UK’s top housebuilders
• Guaranteed job opportunity

Who it’s for:

• Cadets considering their future career path
• Early Service Leavers (less than 4 years of service)
• Veterans looking to bring their skills into a new sector
• Reserves seeking a flexible, long-term civilian career alongside continued service

You don’t need previous construction experience—just a commitment to learn, a proactive mindset, and the ability to work as part of a team. We’ll support you with everything else.

Why construction? Why Hill?

Your military experience has already given you many of the qualities we look for on site:

• Leadership under pressure
• Adaptability and problem-solving
• Communication and team coordination
• Strong work ethic and discipline

At Hill, we see these skills every day in our teams. And we know how valuable they are in building not just homes, but successful careers.

We’re a five-star housebuilder, a privately-owned business, and a place where people thrive. Our values—Ambition, Collaboration, Impact, and Agility—mirror the qualities you’ve already demonstrated in the forces.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer. We can provide adjustments throughout the recruitment process.
