Clarkson Evans Careers and Employment

This is not a nine to five job so you’ll need to be prepared for variable (sometimes long) working days. A flexible attitude is essential so if you’re looking for set hours and a short working week, our apprenticeships would not be suitable for you. Typically you’ll be expected to meet your team at your branch at 7.00am but there may be occasions when you’re requested to arrive earlier. The finish time depends on when your team has achieved the work required for the day so while it might be mid-afternoon on some days, a finish time around 5pm - 6pm is more likely and occasionally you may need to stay later. Your normal working days will be Monday to Friday but at busy times when your team leader asks you to come in at the weekend you must be prepared to do so.

Here are some of the main reasons staff say that they enjoy working at Clarkson Evans. Our staff are some of the highest earners in the construction industry, and our bonus schemes give you the potential to top-up your salary even further. We reward hard work and initiative, especially when people take ownership and work as a team. Long-standing employees receive Long Service Rewards in the form of £500, £1,000 or £2,000 Red Letter Day Vouchers, depending on their length of service. There's so many opportunities to develop your career, on and off 'the tools'. Once qualified, you could make the transition into our commercial, lecturing or assessing teams. Currently 80% of our management are former apprentices with the company. We value people for their individual talents and take an interest in how staff develop within the company. Although our culture is structured to allow our electricians and apprentices to get the job done there’s an active social side to the company too. Social highlights include an annual summer BBQ and a trip to Cheltenham races along with a Christmas party for staff and children.

The culture of Clarkson Evans is to reward staff who are highly-organised and efficient and take responsibility for their work. Staff bonuses are on offer to both office and site-based staff, which are really valued by employees. Many of the current managers started off as apprentices and so they know what it's like to work 'on the tools'. There are lots of social events, including a free trip to the races for qualified staff, a staff Christmas party and children's Christmas party.

It's much like a military selection process. You first submit you CV, once passed that you'll get invited to an assessment day which consists of a few tests, teamwork exercises and a final practical.
