Dawnus has built its business on a direct labour and plant philosophy, and we believe that our people are the key to our success.
Wherever possible we aim to carry out our projects using our own in-house labour force. This approach means that we look to create opportunities for long-term employment, training and development at all levels, including site operatives.
We are committed to providing training and career development for all our employees to provide job satisfaction, to contribute to the success of the company, and to maintain the high standards of our projects.
We aim to be an employer of choice and we do this by ensuring staff have a quality working environment together with competitive pay, terms and conditions, as well as the opportunity for career progression.
We have accredited training agreements with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), in addition to close links with other professional bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD). We also have collaborative working arrangements with Construction Skills, universities and the further and higher education sector across Wales.
We offer a Graduate Further Learning Scheme for engineers, accredited by the Institution for Civil Engineers, which provides a framework to help a trainee achieve the necessary competence to qualify as a professional engineer.
Our staff retention rates are evidence of our support to employees, with many having benefited from training and development opportunities and career progression.
