Time with company: 4 Years
I knew the David Wilson Southern team was a division that succeeded and when I was offered the position as Senior Engineer I considered that it would be a great opportunity to work in a large organisation after working for a couple of small engineering consultants.
Our division later became part of the Barratt Group, a large and successful organisation. The reality of working within the Barratt group has proved a varied and challenging experience and even though we have been working through the recession, my experience is positive.
We are clearly committed to being nation’s leading housebuilder and although some of the changes during the recession have been hard, I can see that the changes have clearly left the group in a strong position for when the market returns.
My colleagues in the division and all the people I meet from throughout the company are pleasant to work with and add to an enjoyable working environment. The day to day variety of the engineering requirements of sites mean that no day is the same and most are technically challenging making work very interesting. With all of my industry experience I would definitely recommend Barratt as an employer of choice!
