Life at Wates

Reimagine your career with Wates.

As well as competitive salaries, Wates offer brilliant benefits – it’s their way of recognising the hard work of their employees. They do all they can to support their people so that they can thrive with them.

They offer flexible benefits too.

At Wates, they recognise that their organisation is increasingly diverse. People have different values, and different concerns, so you can’t apply a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Their flexible benefits scheme means their employees can choose the benefits they want – from pension top-ups to health care and restaurant discount cards. Most of their benefits also operate via salary sacrifice so you can save tax and/or National Insurance in the process. They also offer up to 26 days holiday a year, plus two extra days for volunteering and a day off for your birthday.

They want to make a positive impact.

Their award winning, industry-leading family leave policy offers full paid maternity leave as well as 12 weeks paid partner / paternity leave. They also offer enhanced shared parental and adoption leave, including matched maternity pay. They provide their employees with two weeks bereavement leave and flexible carers’ leave too.

Wates have also become one of the first construction companies to support flexible working across every part of their business, including for site-based employees. Their six flexible working principles mean that arrangements are tailored to individual needs, mutually beneficial, team-focused, adaptable, leader-supported, and fit the context.
