Careers @ Cunningham

I thoroughly enjoy weekly site visits which allow me to see how the job has progressed from week to week and particularly enjoy the interaction with the site team and clients team. Working closely with a Senior QS in the office and on site has allowed me to develop my knowledge of the construction industry.

I have been given great support through senior members in the company which has greatly increased my confidence, knowledge, and experience. There is a positive teamwork environment within Cunningham.

Since joining Cunningham, I’ve genuinely enjoyed the positive and supportive working environment the company fosters. The proactive, can-do attitude shared by the entire team has created a collaborative atmosphere across every project I’ve been part of. I’m especially grateful for their ongoing investment in my professional development and growth within the industry.

It’s a privilege to work alongside such a diverse group of experienced construction professionals from various sectors, all of whom are open to sharing their insights and expertise. The company’s strong emphasis on teamwork is clearly reflected in the regular team-building activities and social events. I look forward to building on my experiences in the future and am excited to experience the company’s growth.

Cunningham have invested in me and given me the opportunity to grow and develop in the role of Quantity Surveying by work shadowing their professionals in the construction industry and I am very thankful. I’m about to finish my first year with Cunningham’s and I have loved every minute of it.

Their tailor-made program has given me the skills, knowledge and experience I need to excel in my field.

I have really enjoyed working on real projects, learning from seasoned experts and gaining hands-on experience.

I have been with Cunningham for almost 2 years and have enjoyed and appreciated the company’s priorities, insight and culture. I joined as a Senior Planner and from the start have been impressed how everyone works collectively with a goal orientated approach. I feel Cunningham truly values its employees and that enables us to grow and feel passionate about our careers.

Cunningham puts considerable effort into providing and encouraging a positive working environment, this is helped by way of various team building events throughout the year that offers a great opportunity to connect with colleagues across various departments. In my experience this helped me considerably when settling into my role.

My focus since joining the business has been the scoping and configuration of a new ERP system. Alongside this project my day to day involves working with a great finance team to ensure invoicing, payments and accounts production are completed within a timely manner so that we can provide the board with accurate information for decision making.

Being part of such a successful growing company provides plenty of opportunities for professional and personal growth.  Each day brings something new, and with it a new learning opportunity.  There is a great team spirit within Cunningham, and I thoroughly enjoy interacting with each of the different departments within the business.  Staff engagement is always at the forefront of Cunningham’s minds, and they sure know how to throw a good party!

My day to day typically involves supporting and assisting the whole team in accounts including FD, FC and management accountant, payroll and purchase ledger. My mentors Sarah and Lorraine typically set out work for me that they feel is in line with my professional training which can typically vary from day to day.

I enjoy working with my team members and enjoy the fact that the company has supported and encouraged me to grow and develop professionally.

I joined Cunninghams almost 2 years ago as a Senior Quantity Surveyor.  During this time I have had an excellent working relationship with the team and have enjoyed the culture and day to day working environment within the company.

Cunninghams support and promote professional development, offering various pathways for progression.  This has been demonstrated by my promotion to Commercial Manager.

The company has a strong emphasis on teamwork, which is demonstrated by the several team building and social events organised each year.  These events help foster an excellent approachable environment with all colleagues.

What I love most about my job is the people. I’m extremely privileged to work alongside people who are some of the best in their field, and it’s fantastic to work in that atmosphere. I love to see people blossom in their career and I believe Cunningham is providing our people with the opportunity to do that.

No two days in HR are ever the same because people are not all the same! To work in HR you need to have listening skills, be empathetic, have a good sense of morals and ethics and the ability to think long term, and see the bigger picture. Here at Cunningham, I am delighted to oversee a growing HR function with a dedicated L&D team, which gives us the opportunity to provide a quality service to our people, supporting their career.

I started with Cunningham January 2023 and have been involved in several projects including construction of large social housing sites and a steel frame building. I also completed a spell developing and managing preconstruction design and I am currently working in the Specialist Division primarily on Pharmaceutical projects. Senior Management in Cunningham are very approachable and personable, if you need something speak up and they’ll step in to help. Cunningham have top class facilities both in offices and on-site making it a comfortable and productive place to work.

I have noticed a lot of positive change since I started a relatively short time ago as the company develops, grows and adapts. I am happy to be part of such an enthusiastic and capable team and look forward to whatever is next in the coming years!
