Among many benefits is membership of the Bouygues Group, a global leader in construction and services, road building, telecommunications, media, power and transport. Over 143,000 people work around the globe in more than 80 different countries. This powerful parent group adds support, when required, for our development, expertise and financial backing.

We want to find, attract, grow and keep high-quality individuals. Our future depends on recruiting and retaining the best. It is a priority for us to promote from within and provide the stimulation you require to succeed. We have grown considerably over the past few years. We still have much to achieve and continued expansion of the business offers many opportunities for career development. Our appraisal and career review programmes offer personal development plans and succession planning to realise your future potential. Finally, being part of a large group with diverse interests can lead to great opportunities if you seek international mobility.

The cornerstone of our approach is to provide training that is systematic and strategic. We invest a sum equivalent to 2% of our salary costs each year on training and development of our staff. This ranges from basic skills training and apprenticeships, City & Guilds, NVQs and HNDs, through to nationally recognised qualifications such as BIFM and ILM and professional studies such as CIMA, CIPS and CIPD. Our FM Academy also provides high-quality learning and development opportunities such as the Graduate Scheme, Horizons management development programme and postgraduate scholarships for Masters Degrees. We also have access to internationally-run development courses organised by Bouygues Construction.

We positively promote equal opportunity and encourage diversity. We believe that by reaching a wide range of groups, our organisation is richer in skills and experience. Our teams come from a range of backgrounds and interests. This helps us to maximise the individual but also the collective talents of our business. We support our teams with flexibility in our work policies, which often exceed statutory requirements.

Our values are based on RESPECT. We believe that by encouraging mutual respect with our employees, we will all win. Our sites have achieved Investor in People certification and we conduct regular staff satisfaction surveys in order to monitor our relationships with employees. We aim to achieve profitable, but sustainable, development. We work with our clients to develop innovative solutions meeting their changing needs. We have an excellent safety record and are certified to ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 standards.

Ecovert FM ensures remuneration matches performance and potential, with regular salary reviews and a calibrated benefits package. Every employee is appraised annually, with training needs identified and career development proposals reviewed. We also run a number of employee recognition schemes, rewarding consistently high performance, outstanding acts of customer service and innovative ideas.

We work in a sustainable manner across our sites, implementing the actions of the Bouygues Construction sustainability policy, Actitudes, "Changing our attitude through the way we act". Examples of sustainable actions include site-dedicated environmental champions, replacement of bottled water by filtered water, using fair-trade goods in our catering outlets, using biodegradable cleaning products, introducing water usage reduction schemes and energy-efficient hand dryers and choosing FSC-compliant paper for corporate literature.

We have a clear strategy for achieving our future development targets. Our success rests on unlocking and releasing the energy and ability of our employees. Without this vital ingredient, our development cannot be assured. To this end, we regularly review our career development plans and ensure that succession planning takes place. Our ability to adapt to changes in our industry keeps us at the forefront within the Bouygues Group.
We encourage greater participation in the evolution of our strategies through such initiatives as Supervisors’ and Managers' Forums, held each quarter to discuss issues of importance and common interest. We also seek and encourage the promotion of new ideas from within Ecovert FM across the wider Bouygues Group, through participation in the annual Innovation Competition.
