Operative in the spotlight
Meet Petronela: a project security guard working on one of our largest client projects.
Despite never having worked in the construction industry before, we knew CJS Recruitment Limited could offer Petronela the right opportunity when she came to us in 2021.
Petronela is studying to become a lawyer, and it was clear she had the commitment to learn quickly and thrive on a construction client project.
It really mattered to our team that we could provide Petronela with a role where she feels secure and supported, but that also allows her to continue her studies. As a project security guard, she can focus on her education thanks to a flexible and understanding client who knows she has the hard-working attitude to learn and deliver when she is on-site.
Women-owned and women-led, at CJS Recruitment Limited we know a diverse work environment that promotes social value is crucial. We’re delighted to give women the chance to pursue construction industry careers, supporting inclusion and their ability to break down barriers.
With a flexible, inclusive approach to construction industry recruitment, we give every operative the chance to excel in a role that’s right for them.
