We’re a Disability Committed employer. If you need any adjustments to the application process we’d be delighted to discuss this with you.

We caught up with our Senior Design Manager, Sandra Weerasinghe, and Ada’s Director of Operations, Sophie Clifton, to reflect on the importance of shared values when working together.

We’re celebrating our fourth annual Inclusion Month, a major part of our programme to make Wates the most inclusive organisation.

In July 2023, Chief Executive Eoghan O’Lionaird joined an expert panel for the Fawcett Society’s ’Equal play’ webinar: ‘Unlimited Potential’, that delved into the impact of gender stereotypes on children’s career choices.

Amy Smith, Partnership Director and Co-Chair of the Parents and Carers Network tells Fawcett why the construction industry must avoid gender stereotypes, and encourage girls and young women to take up STEM subjects.

We’ve been named one of The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality in 2023 in recognition of our commitment to addressing gender inequalities in the workplace

Today we are announcing a new partnership with the Fawcett Society, the UK’s leading charity campaigning for gender equality and women’s rights, on a new Equal Play campaign to support parents, care givers and influential adults to challenge gender stereotypes with their children.

We provide an environment that encourages flexible working through working arrangements and benefits.

Wates has been recognised with two awards at the Working Families Best Practice Awards for its flexible working practices and support for parents and carers. The Group was named Best for Fathers and Best for All Families.  

“We believe in ‘giving something back’ to those brave and exceptional military personnel who have the potential to be future industry staff. People of this calibre can only benefit our industry.”
