Grounded, yet soaring

We’re down to earth, but we’re reaching for the skies. We’re growing, but we still want to keep it personal, keep it grounded. So, we rely on genuine, authentic professionals to carry the torch. Those looking to do more, but not lose touch with reality. To be part of a team, but remain individual.

Working here means being a ‘can do-er’. A ‘let’s make this happen’ person. It means being part of a family who will support you and encourage you to keep moving forward. We are:

	Collaborative to the core There are no ivory towers here, everyone is on the same level. From our joint venture partners to our clients – we work together to bring the best out in each other, and everyone’s voice counts. We continuously adapt to ensure we are maximising the potential of our workforce and our projects. Meaning you’ll always be right at the centre of the action.
	Always authentic We don’t have to enforce ethics here. We reject blame culture, reward loyalty, and take responsibility for our mistakes – seeing each one as a learning opportunity. And we’re genuinely inclined to push boundaries in the pursuit of equality, diversity and inclusion.
	Naturally nurturing We’re a people-first kind of business – and in our sector, that’s pretty unique. We recognise that our success is built upon the contributions of our industry talent, and our commitment to nurturing every individual’s potential makes our workforce a force to be reckoned with.
	Distinctly dependable We’re not glory seekers. Our work is a product of pride, and it shows in our reputation. We’re driven by passion, committed to quality, and we never cut corners. For our subcontractors and employees, this translates to solid career prospects, and the satisfaction of representing ‘the good guys’.
	Open for originality We think big, embrace change. And we’re gearing up for the future. We’re open for business savvy and originality – welcoming entrepreneurs and independent thinkers, because ultimately, they are what drive us forward and give us the edge. From new technology to ground-breaking ideas – if it’s innovative enough, we’re agile enough to make it happen.
	Investors in People VolkerFitzpatrick is proud to have held the 'Investors in People' accreditation since 2000. This highlights the value and importance our people play in our success.
