Esh Group embark on major recruitment drive

Growth across Esh Group’s construction business has prompted the firm to start a major recruitment drive.

The Durham-headquartered construction and property services organisation already employs around 1000 people across its administration centres in Northumberland, Cumbria, Scottish Borders, County Durham and Yorkshire.

Around 70 jobs have now been created at the firm - 20 of which are at senior and managerial level.

Now Esh are launching three “Getting To Know Us” events across Tyneside, Teesside and Yorkshire - designed to allow interested potential applicants to find out more about the £200 million turnover company.

John Davies, managing director of Esh Construction said: “We’ve got tremendous work pipelines across all divisions and regions of the business – in particular in our civil engineering, commercial build and house building operations in the North East, Cumbria and Yorkshire.

“We’re offering excellent job opportunities at almost every level of the business from Construction Directors to trainees and operatives. This is a great chance for anyone who is already in construction and wants a change – or is in another sector and wants to get into construction.

“We’re looking for experienced people who will ‘hit the ground running’ and others who need to learn but have the right attitude to ‘buckle down’ and take advantage of all the training and opportunity that Esh Group will offer – and expect them – to take up.”

Heading up the campaign, Michael Henderson, director of Esh Construction, explained: “This is a really exciting campaign – we want to find bright, ambitious people who are as keen to grow themselves as we are to grow Esh Group.

“Esh Group is a ‘business builder’ and we have a great reputation for ‘growing our own’. Many of our Senior Managers and Directors started their careers here as apprentices!”

“Esh Group : Getting to Know Us“ meetings are taking place between 4pm and 9pm on:

June 26, Thursday – Middlesbrough Football Club, Teesside

July 2, Wednesday – Newcastle United Football Club, Tyneside

July 8, Tuesday – De Vere Village, Castleford, Yorkshire

Representatives of all the business divisions in Esh Group will be on hand to meet people and answer questions about their work and the job opportunities available.

All expressions of interest and applications are being directed through the confidential portal [updated 18/05/08] where more information about Esh Group, its divisions, jobs available and the recruitment process can be found or by emailing gettoknowus@esh.uk.com or calling Anna on 0191 377 4053.
