Welcome to the Wates Group Hub

We are Wates, the UK’s leading, family-owned development, building and property maintenance company.

Founded over 125 years ago, we proudly work with public and private sector organisations to create and maintain the places, communities and businesses of tomorrow.

We recruit from all STEM disciplines.
The facts
We’re a family-owned business. One that knows it’s our people that make us successful. Which is why we offer the support and development opportunities that help everyone thrive.
Our longevity is due to a caring and open approach to the world. With our 125th anniversary this year, we’ve launched a gender balance programme that aims to bring 125 more women into the organisation.
We’ve committed to reducing our emissions. A company wide initiative has been launched to meet zero waste and zero carbon goals by 2025.
Our dedicated ‘Social Value Plan’ includes a desire to employ those furthest from the workforce.
We offer a variety of office and site-based roles. This broad range of projects gives you the opportunity to work across the UK.
