There are many reasons why people join Carnell, here’s what three of our employees have to say…
JOHN SHAWCROSS
I’ve worked for Carnell for almost two decades. Back then there were only 20 of us, and along with a few others I’ve grown with the company. Working on the roads can be a high-risk environment, but Carnell have a culture of safety which I’ve not seen bettered by anyone else in the highways community.
TARA MCCULLY
With Carnell I’ve travelled all over the country and experienced all types of projects. These range in duration and types of works, and each day is entirely unpredictable which helps keep me on my toes! The best part of the job is having pride in the finished product that I helped contribute to; there aren’t many jobs where you can drive past your work, point and say ‘I did that!’”
LEWIS HAYCOCK
After joining Carnell I found that I was doing well and opportunities were made available to me. It didn’t take long for me to progress in the direction I wanted. I started out as a Highways operative apprentice in September 2015 and now I am being sponsored by Carnell to attend university and train to be a Engineer.
“There is a genuine two way benefit, with Carnell able to provide an attractive alternative to the increasingly expensive higher education path; in return having the opportunity to ‘grow our own’ stars of the future.”
