Principal People are recruiting for a highly regarded Construction and Infrastructure Group operating across the North West, offering an excellent opportunity to join a business that invests in and develops its people.

With a portfolio spanning commercial construction, civil engineering, infrastructure and residential development, you’ll gain exposure to everything from major building developments and high-rise construction through to highways, bridges and complex civil engineering schemes, with project values reaching £50m.

The business has an excellent record of retaining and developing employees, with many having built careers spanning decades. There is a strong emphasis on professional development, internal progression and giving individuals the freedom to take ownership of their work.

The Role

• Covering projects predominantly across the North West, with occasional travel into Yorkshire.

What We’re Looking For
