Bennett & Game are representing a growing residential developer who are seeking a Senior Engineer / Engineering Manager to join their expanding Technical team in the Wakefield area.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking housebuilder that has recently undergone a rebrand as part of its ambitious growth strategy. The business has established a strong presence across Yorkshire and is planning to expand into additional regions, with a secure pipeline of residential developments. As part of this continued growth, they are investing heavily in their Technical department and are looking to strengthen their in-house engineering capability.
This role has arisen following the promotion and subsequent departure of the current Engineering Manager.
