Peterborough workers wanted to build new £32m transport scheme

The new contractor appointed to build the £32million King’s Dyke transport scheme is looking to hire workers from Peterborough.

Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK is looking for site agents, sub agents, senior project engineers and a project public liaison officer.

Cambridgeshire County Council King’s Dyke project involves constructing a new road and bridge over the Ely to Peterborough railway line crossing on the A605 near Whittlesey.

The level crossing will subsequently be removed as part of the programme.

Jones Bros contracts director, Geraint Thomas, said: “Successful candidates will receive industry-leading training with clear career progression opportunities.

“Working for Jones Bros can be extremely rewarding if you show the right attitude and enthusiasm.

“In addition, it’s a fantastic opportunity to work on a significant scheme that is going to benefit the region for years to come.

“The company strives to engage with the local community as much as possible, creating career opportunities for school leavers through apprenticeships and a range of job vacancies for experienced personnel.”

Geraint added: “We are aware of the challenges presented by COVID-19 and we have put measures in place such as risk assessments, social distancing and suitable hygiene and welfare facilities on site.”

Established in the 1950s, Jones Bros runs an award-winning apprenticeship scheme, which has produced more than 40 per cent of its current workforce, with many of its senior managers having started out as apprentices or in a trainee role.
