SalaryGet paid to train as a Project Supervisor!
If you’re looking for a role that offers huge variety and hands-on experience, in an organisation known for looking after its employees, our Construction Development Programme is a brilliant opportunity. This is paid 18-month scheme that will train you to be a Project Supervisor.

This is a role for someone who likes to be outside in all weathers and interacting with people as much as possible.
