At McDermotts we’re passionate about construction and believe that the industry can provide rich and rewarding careers. As a national business working for some of the largest construction companies in the country, our vision is clear – building success on a firm foundation. To achieve this we need a competent team supporting us both on our construction sites and at head office.

When you join McDermotts, you’re not just joining a team, you become part of our family. Our culture is built around supporting each other and working together to achieve success.

Whether you’re experienced in your field or just starting out, take a look at our vacancies.

We value our people that’s why we invest in training and development to ensure they’re the best at what they do. We have minimum training requirements for all roles which are often higher than industry requirements and we regularly review training plans to ensure they are up-to-date.

We also have a robust annual review process which provides an opportunity for staff to discuss progress and future goals.

Each year we offer two students the opportunity to gain experience in the construction industry. As part of this 12-month structured programme, the students will spend time at head office learning about each of the different departments before joining one of our teams out on site. As well as practical experience, the programme includes obtaining a CSCS card and other construction-related training.

Applications are open October to February each year.

Apprenticeships offer the chance to learn skills while gaining practical experience in a work environment. As well as training at our purpose built academy and joining one of our teams on site, apprentices have the option to undertake industry recognised qualifications.

All our groundworks apprenticeships are managed by Salutem.

Apprentice applications are now closed for 2022.

We’re proud to support Buildforce, an alliance of construction employers, industry bodies and service charities, which helps service leavers find careers within construction.

These partnerships allow the construction industry to tap into a unique talent pool of 14,000 military personnel that leave the armed forces each year and are recognised for their leadership, teamwork and project management skills.
