A PLC housebuilder are looking to supplement their Technical and Engineering department with a Development Engineer and are offering a top package of up to £55,000 plus benefits - and the good thing about this housebuilder is they're full-steam ahead in productivity at the moment.
After a period of consolidation in 2024 due to a restructure, the technical team has steadily reformed over the last 18 months with promotions and external recruitment and now the time has come to add you to a team of 4 other Development Engineers. You’d be based in Warrington in a role that is office based but in a company who won't chain you to your desk - want to negotiate a midweek day or two working from home? We can chat about that.
What they do need off you is someone who can hit the ground running. They're really busy, running around 600 units with plans to get up to 700. The restructure means they'll be someone to help you BUT they also need you to crack on. Site needs a nudge to overcome and Engineering problem? That'll be you. Need to arrange a meeting with a groundworks sub-contractor to alleviate an issue? That'll be you as well. And they'll pay you well for that. Yes, we're looking at mid £50,000's at the moment but there are potential opportunities to progress to a Senior role as the region grows.
That'll also come with a 10% bonus, your car/allowance, your standard days holiday but with all the extra additionals and WFH flexibility you'd hope for. The guys you’d be working with have been in the business several years, are top fellas with a good reputation and said it’s a good time to be joining the business, units are selling ahead of expectations, they’re busy, the team is secure and solid, they just need you, a good strong Engineer with a background in housing, to join them ASAP.
They’re looking to get that right person on almost immediately so if you’re interested and have that background, I can almost guarantee they’d like to sit down with you. Drop me a line by applying to this job advert and we’ll speak, go over the details and get your CV to them immediately.
