When it comes to delivering high-end construction, refurbishment and fit-out projects of outstanding quality, there’s only one contractor to consider — Phelan. With over 30 years’ experience in delivering excellent projects, we pride ourselves on our timely results, Perfect Delivery and customer satisfaction.

We’re a specialist main contractor based in Essex, working on nearly 30 live projects (as of March 2019), both nationally and regionally. From managing fit-out works on the 32nd floor of The Shard to carrying out new build works on local schools; all our valued customers can expect the same quality of service through to completion. Our quality of work and customer-orientated approach is the key to our success as around 80% of work is from repeat business.

Pride. Passion. People – Could you be the next person to join the Phelan team?

Careers

Phelan Construction are always actively looking to recruit skilled and experienced personnel across a wide variety of roles. From Site Managers to Estimators and Quantity Surveyors, we provide ample career opportunities for people from all backgrounds and encourage growth within the business.

Apprenticeships 

Construction is one of the biggest industries to work in, both in the UK and worldwide. When many people consider construction, they think about trade-based jobs, such as bricklaying, plumbing, roofing and carpentry. 

While these roles all hold great potential, there are also dozens of lesser-known job titles to consider that boast salaries on par with those earned by doctors, lawyers, teachers and engineers. At Phelan Construction, we’re keen to support any student and graduate who wants to embark on a career in construction and develop their skills for the future. There is a role for everyone.

In 2018, we joined the 5% club. This is a pledge that 5% of our workforce will consist of apprentices and graduates. We offer a variety of apprenticeship and work placement opportunities, as well as further academic and industry training for those already working within the Phelan team. We are also part of a number of initiatives aimed at supporting local schools and colleges in their curriculum, and enabling students to join Phelan for an apprenticeship.
