New jobs up for grabs as Darwin Group continues Telford expansion
Fifteen jobs are up for grabs at Telford’s Darwin Group as the healthcare construction specialist continues to expand.
The roles, which include junior and senior positions across the architectural, design, sales, commercial and construction departments, will support the firm’s growth as it partners with the NHS to create outstanding healthcare facilities across the UK.
The offsite construction specialist, which currently employs around 200 specialist staff, has already taken on 40 new people so far this year after a period of rapid growth.
In August, Darwin Group moved its office from Shawbury in Shrewsbury to Telford’s Plaza One building, in Ironmasters Way, after outgrowing its former home.
Darwin Group founder and CEO, Richard Pierce, said it was an exciting time to join the firm.
Richard said: “It’s been a big year for us so far, with an office move and 40 new colleagues joining the team.
The fact that we’re now recruiting again to keep up with demand for our services is incredible.”
Established in 2006, Darwin Group works in partnership with the NHS to create outstanding healthcare facilities built using innovative offsite construction methods at its own Shropshire production facility.
Richard added: “We’re very proud of our team's impact. The buildings we design and create here in Shropshire improve healthcare outcomes for NHS patients, visitors and staff across the country.
“Thanks to our current recruitment drive, we’ll be able to make a positive difference to the healthcare of thousands of more people.”
Councillor Eileen Callear (Lab), Telford & Wrekin Council’s Cabinet Member for Education, Employment and Visitor Economy, said: “Darwin Group’s move to Telford and its continued growth is fantastic news for the borough.
“Not only is the firm creating jobs for people locally, it is also delivering outstanding healthcare facilities throughout the UK.
“We wish Darwin Group all the best with its recruitment drive and encourage people to explore this range of new employment opportunities with the company.”
