Making Career Development Our Top Priority
Starfish Construction is a multi-faceted group specialising in the building envelope, internal refurbishment, and asbestos management. Therefore, we need a wide range of experienced construction professionals across the UK to be part of our team.
We have created a new careers section within our website to give prospective employees a place to explore why Starfish Construction is the next and hopefully the last stop on the career journey. Broken into sections, we outline Elevate - our culture and operational programme, Working at Starfish Construction - where team members discuss why Starfish Construction was the right choice for them.
We also outline our Customer Care Programme and how to build effective relationships with colleagues and customers. A vital part of our continued success and an essential reference point for all prospective employees, we should always appreciate customer care, colleague collaboration, and support when measuring project success.
With diverse projects throughout the UK, our Current Vacancies offer opportunities at all levels and locations. If you don't see a position which fits your skillset, you can always upload your CV at the foot of the vacancies page.
