We always seek to live by our values; Responsibility - We prioritise our duty of care to our stakeholders. Courage - We make bold decisions and blaze new trails to achieve progress. Partnership - We empower people through culture, community & coordination. Passion - Our shared belief in what we do will always be the key to our success. We want to attract people from all backgrounds, as we value diverse experiences and understand that they help create an environment where everyone is welcome. The ‘perfect candidate’ rarely exists, even on paper. If the idea of working for Brunel excites you and have most of the skills or experience, we are looking for – go ahead and apply. You may be a far better candidate than you realise! At Brunel, we understand that everyone is different. That’s why we offer a flexible approach to working that supports our people in ways that are meaningful – and leaves them enough space to have fun, too.
