PEOPLE THRIVE AT WATES
About you…
Whether you’re an industry professional, seeking a career change, or returning to work after a break, we’d love to hear from you.
You don’t need to have construction experience. We’re looking for a range of transferrable skills you might well have already. Things like project management, building relationships, stakeholder engagement, customer service, and communication to name but a few. In fact, the people in our team come from lots of different backgrounds including local government, law, retail, banking, and beyond.
Above all, we’re looking for open-minded people who can see the huge opportunities this business has to offer. People who are flexible, friendly, and have the right mindset to succeed in our team. People who genuinely care and want to make a real impact through their work.
A FANTASTIC PLACE TO DEVELOP YOUR CAREER
Join our winning team…
We’re a highly successful business with an annual turnover of £322.7m. We also have a forward order book worth £2.2bn.
We are a developer partner for our public sector clients, investing in, delivering and selling schemes through joint ventures and development agreements. We partner with local authorities, housing associations, and other public bodies in London, the South of England, and Wales. Together, we build thriving communities with sustainability and social value at their core. We win contracts based on our impact on communities, not cost.
This is an exciting sector to be in. It’s also ripe with opportunity. Our work covers everything from project management to customer service, business development, partnership, HR, finance, comms, admin and more. We also offer roles in growing areas such as data security, quality and sustainability.
At Wates, we’ll give you all the training and CPD you need to succeed. We also encourage internal promotion to help you take that next step. Not only that, but if you want to change, you can apply for roles across the Wates Group too. There’s nowhere better to build your career.
TESTIMONIALS

Golden Iwuorie
Planning Management Trainee
"One of the programme's highlights has been the opportunity to undertake placements across diverse departments such as Production, Commercial, Design, SHE (Safety, Health, and Environment), M&E (Mechanical and Electrical), and Bid management. These rotations have given me a holistic understanding of how each function operates within Wates and the wider construction ecosystem, and how they are interconnected to ensure the delivery of safe and successful construction projects."
