About you...
Whether you’re seeking your next move, fancy a career change, or returning to work after a break, we’d love to hear from you. You don’t need industry experience in the built environment – just the transferable skills we need to keep our business running smoothly.
We’re interested in your personal qualities and having the right mindset to succeed with us: being open, willing to learn, not afraid of a challenge, and possessing good communication and people skills. An interest in our industry would also help.
Amy Sheppard
Creative Service Executive
“I first joined Wates in 2017 as an Administrator, and eight years later, I’m proud to be working as a Creative Services Executive. Returning when my daughter was two, it truly felt like coming home. Wates has consistently empowered me to grow, evolve, and take on new challenges. The support I’ve received has enabled me to thrive – both professionally and as a parent.”
