Working with PD

Build your next chapter.

We deliver our work with our own site teams rather than passing it down through layers of subcontractors. The people who plan a job are the people who build it, and the experience stays in the company.

Much of what we build sits inside somewhere already in use — an operational school, a live road, an occupied housing estate. It is demanding work, and it rewards people who think ahead and communicate well.

What the work asks for

How we build.

Our own site teams

Direct construction capability, supported by experienced management. You would be working for the contractor, not two steps removed from the job.

Occupied and operational sites

Schools, depots, live roads and established neighbourhoods each need careful access, phasing and communication with the people around the work.

Health and safety first

Planning and coordination protect our teams, our clients and the communities around every site. It is the part of the job nobody gets to treat as optional.
