What our colleagues say
“I’ve always liked the idea of a ‘hands on’ career that is different every day. I needed a role that was interesting but local to where I live, and Aitken is perfect for that.”
“Aitken often go above and beyond to support their staff. The team is absolutely great to work with and very helpful. I’ve already recommended my younger brother to pursue a career at Aitken.”
“I really enjoy my job. I love that I get to travel up and down the country and experience new environments and challenges. I heard great things about Aitken before I started, and now I’d absolutely recommend them to someone else.”
“I’ve worked at Aitken for over 14 years in total. I took a career break and then realised that I really missed working with the team and management. It’s a great place to work and enables me to have a great work/life balance too.”
“I really enjoy that I get to work on a variety of tasks throughout the week, it’s not the same day in day out. Management went above and beyond during Covid to ensure that we were supported and safe, and their general daily support of the team is fantastic.”
