WHY WE’RE AN EMPLOYER OF CHOICE IN CONSTRUCTION

Work-life balance

Ditch the long week and spend more time doing what you love. All our site staff work Monday-Friday, with the exception of Site Supervisors/Managers who work an alternate 4-day, 6-day fortnight. We're also targeting no more than 50 work hours per week for all staff – part of our vision to make life better for our team.

Flexibility

We lead the industry with a focus on flexibility and work-life balance. From our 10 in 14 program to working from home, we offer a range of initiatives that help you arrange work around your life and your family.

Health & wellbeing

Benefit from free health assessments (including skin checks) and flu shots every year. We also provide paid parental leave and openly support time off for other important events in your life.

Diversity

Our gender balance is 10%+ above industry average, but we know there’s still a long way to go. We actively attract, retain, and support women in the construction industry though a range of initiatives and partnerships.

Career development

Our staff are empowered to drive their own careers. We provide clearly defined, agile roles that enable fast-tracked career development. Comprehensive training, mentoring, workshops, and digital communication channels for sharing of resources and ideas make this happen.

Collaboration

We proudly bring people together to exchange expertise with each other every day. We link day-to-day activities with initiatives like Team Kick Offs, ‘All Hands’ meetings, and the use of online communication tools to share lessons learned and break down silos.

The thing I like most about working at Kapitol Group is the teams' ability to think fast and adopt the latest approaches when problem solving. The team is adaptable to change and is always thinking ahead to the future to get better outcomes.

Elliot Cattell
Construction Manager

Safety at Kapitol isn’t lip-service and it’s driven from the top. It makes my job a lot easier when I go out on projects to know I have the backing and support of upper management.

Grainne Moore
Safety Manager

Our values are real and have been from the start, even before they were written down. I love coming to work because it's great working with like-minded people who are driven to succeed.

Luke Byrne
Senior Estimator

Having worked in Tier-1 Construction my entire professional career I understand the demands of the industry, particularly when it comes to working hours and Saturday’s. Kapitol’s commitment to 10 in 14 for all roles from Graduates through to Site Managers is a testament to their vision of improving the construction industry for the better.
