Why Plowman Craven?
We’re proud of our people and their expertise. We invest heavily in our industry-leading training and development programmes to provide excellent career-progression opportunities for all staff. Many of our senior staff actually started out as graduates and we work hard on career development to ensure we offer a career not just a job.
Work Hard, Play Hard...
It’s not all work, work, work! With social events throughout the year, including all-company summer and Christmas parties, we love nothing better than spending time with colleagues.
We have running groups, cycling groups, a weekly football match, regular departmental outings (usually ending up in the pub) and support all manner of staff-initiated social and fundraising activities...from bake-offs to charity BBQs.
Graduate & Apprenticeship Scheme
We have a long history of recruiting and nurturing our graduates and apprentices. Over the years they have excelled into management and technical specialist roles and this is a trend we want to continue.
As I leave Plowman Craven and head back home to Bulgaria, I wanted to take a moment to say it’s been an honor to have worked in such a company - for the unique spirit, professionalism and mindset!
I have cherished the time I have spent at the company ever since the friendly welcome, followed by so many memorable events, enjoyable lunch breaks and warm office atmosphere, which is making this departure hard for me. There are so many moments I will appreciate!
I’ve been really lucky during all this time to have worked with many good surveyors - to learn, share and laugh. Even if there have been difficult times, we have managed to get through them together; overcoming these daily challenges with a huge amount of satisfaction. The feeling of sharing, and working towards a certain goal together, and the connectivity that comes with this, are some of the most valuable things for me! Thank you for the great spirit!
Marineli Dancheva, Junior Surveyor - Plowman Craven
I joined Plowman Craven in 1999 as a graduate and have worked my way up to the position of Managing Surveyor. I love working here and am delighted that the Company has retained the same recruitment ethos as when I joined – to support career progression within the organisation and offer opportunities for those seeking to embark upon a career in measurement surveying. As a recruiting manager, I am looking for proactive individuals with great interpersonal skills who are looking to join a progressive company.
