We have a requirement for Assistant Project Engineers to join our new expanding Central regional office. The employer has taken on several apprentices in the past so knows how to nurture and offer the correct support.
This role is predominantly associated with assisting the Engineering team on completing duties directly related to issues in the field. The role will be split between site and office work and provides varied day to day duties and responsibilities.
You will be rewarded by working for a growing company serving the rapidly growing house building sector who are a Top 100 Apprenticeship Employer (2014 National Apprenticeship Awards). JLES has recently been awarded with Sub-Contractor of the year in 2016 in the Housebuilder Awards. Our successful teams are rewarded with foreign trips (skiing, Ibiza, etc.). If you are interested in business and not just construction then this is the ideal opportunity for you. You will be involved in all aspects of the business from engineering solutions to pricing and profit analysis and this opportunity could lead to you becoming a Chartered Engineer or Business Leader within our group of companies. We want people who have drive, ambition, personality and the desire to succeed and overcome challenges. We view this as an adventure and reward hard work with hard play at the end of the day.
