While working for another framework provider I began hearing positive feedback regarding JNB from both its employees and the client. The benefits packages are really good and there is a companywide commitment to learning and professional development by investing in its people and promoting from within which I found attractive as there was scope to develop and promote within the company.

People are at the heart of our business. We are committed to creating working environments on our sites and in our offices that enable our people to be their very best, delivering brilliant outcomes for clients, and for each other

I love my job! From resetting a pump to installing pipelines, improving canal towpaths and emergency works to working at Rolls Royce. Every project is unique, and every day is a new day to learn, encourage and support others and most importantly to enjoy the workplace.

I’ve met people who’ve actually worked here for 10, 15, even more than 20 years who still love working here and are happy with the company culture, that is a truly unique quality. People seem happy, motivated, friendly and helpful.

The varied and interesting projects I have been involved with in the water industry. Being involved in the whole project lifecycle from project conception, design, installation and commissioning through to handover. Also, the hybrid working policy enables has been a great help in terms of childcare and being able to take myself away from site to concentrate on paperwork without the disruptions of the operational environment.

As an engineering & construction company it is all encompassing, allowing access and involvement in all parts of a project from start to finish, so that it provides good experience of work and projects.

I enjoy working in an organisation that supports it staff on a personal and professional level. I can undertake my role in the knowledge that I have the confidence of my manager to carry out tasks without the need for them to micromanage - I have their support if I need it. We have some great people working for the organisation.

Communication is good; people are friendly, collaborative, and willing to listen to / support each other. There are some great support staff who are always happy to help others. The workforce is diverse in many different aspects, which makes this an awesome place to be - hearing other people's ideas on all aspects of life, and work helps to lift everyone up.

For me the site team has been great, I don't feel a great deal of pressure with the workload and if I need any help people are there to support me, and it seems like my line manager is willing to help me with my career aspirations and development.

Agile working arrangement help manage family commitments. Links to the wider MM helps to support my role. Wide range of expertise for ad hoc advice etc. Being able to have 9 weeks leave a year helps to manage family commitments. Opportunities and flexibility to support or gain support from other regions when required.

The accessibility to support on work or project related issues is very impressive and individuals from all units and teams are always willing to help. There are lots of opportunities for learning from peers, other projects management and leadership. I know that if I'm struggling with something I can pick the phone up or send a message on teams and someone will help. I'm also incredibly proud to work within a culture that I think is a leading light in Health and Safety. We have an excellent balance of safety, happy people and smart commercial thinking and I say balance because none of it is overbearing and in your face. I think our people are happy to buy into this and seeing the results of why it’s important spurs them on.

I feel that I am a valued member of the Bentley team. I enjoy getting up in a morning to come to work, not something I can say about other people I have worked for. It's great to be able to have some pride in the job I do. The management I am with make the job worthwhile.

The people by far are the best thing about working for this organisation. They encourage young people to be their best and support their career. Older people are also encouraged to keep their skills updated and to learn new skills. Hybrid working allows people to do their best whilst working remotely.

Good people (emphasis on people not professionals), good pay and a very adaptive organisation (adaptive to changes in the world i.e. climate change and cost of living changes).

The team! The team !! The team !!! It's a very positive work environment and filled with very supportive people.

Being an employee-owned business - return to employees and not beholden to the stock market investors. Feels like company run for its employees. Good balance of push and reward. Feel secure from redundancy. Lots of opportunity to progress and develop.

There is trust and empowerment from management which allows me to use my skills and experience to do my role to the best of my availability. The welcoming staff and good work ethic creates a positive environment.

I have never worked directly for a Tier 1 contractor until now and I find this organisation to be far more professional from top to bottom compared to previous employers. I feel I can achieve my career goals in this firm and plan to be here for many years to come.

The flexible working is up there for me. I love the work from home as it is good, and it allows you to get more done in my opinion. I also know this organisation is good as a lot of people who aren't in the industry know the name. It is an organisation to work for and has a lot of good things, the pay, the people, bonuses for hard work company wide, the workload, the interesting projects, the flexibility.

Having only been with the organisation a short time, I have been impressed with the focus on employee wellbeing and recognition/benefits offered, and the knock-on effect this has in promoting an excellent work ethic amongst staff. I think it is evident in the atmosphere generally in the office and the fact that many staff members have been with the company for so long that JN Bentley is serious about employee wellbeing and raising the reputation of the company for employees and in terms of the work produced. It is refreshing to find an employer who is consistent in recognition and retaining staff. I feel happy about my choice to join JN Bentley and hope to be one of the members of staff that enjoys a long employment. I still have a lot to learn about my role, colleagues, and the company/industry but I feel confident that there are opportunities ahead that I would not find in other workplaces.

There's inclusivity within the workplace and an excellent environment. I have understanding managers that provide good communication and goals for me to progress and the approach from managers is both fair and equal. I'm never afraid to ask questions and feel comfortable within my team.

I like that the directors are approachable, and will answer the phone and make time for you if you have a concern. I appreciate the support I receive for my professional development and the opportunities that are made available to me. I feel comfortable when in a big collaborative team, as I feel everyone tries to support each other as much as possible.

Working environment - I really enjoy the aspect of being able to attend site often, this has a positive impact on my understanding as you visually see what is being undertaken on site. The site team I have been involved with are always offering to explain certain aspects of the project. It came to mind when I first started for JNB whether I would get the opportunity to visit sites (previous job was site based) and gain that experience to help me with my job role. I automatically assumed my role would be office based full time - I was totally wrong. Fellow employees - I feel that I get on with everyone within my team / triangle and different people who are involved in different aspects of my current projects - design / labour on site / site agents / engineers etc. Opportunity in regard to learning - There are plenty of opportunities to gain knowledge, these can be webinars / meetings / training / further education. The above happen frequently. Salary / Bonus - I have never worked or heard of a company that rewards their employees based on how well the company is performing.

The business is always looking for opportunities to grow and increase turnover and margins. This provides development opportunities for people across all areas and disciplines. They proactively reward those that deserve recognition, and everyone genuinely cares about the people who work for our organisation.

The working environment is great, and you can approach anyone in the office, site or on teams with a question knowing that whoever it may be will be happy to help. I feel that this creates a sense of friendship between myself and my colleagues. Work is always going to be more enjoyable when you feel you're working with friends and friendly, rather than just colleagues.

I'm in a really good team who work well together. I can have a laugh with both those on my level and managers. The agile working offered is a huge benefit to  me, helping me with my busy home life and allowing me to juggle hobbies and family commitments. This shows trust from management and gives me the flexability to manage my own time. 

People who I work with are brilliant and very supporting. There is recognition of when you do good work, they also give constructive comments to help you improve for in future. Give much needed learning points. Colleagues allow you to challenge for different ideas, which allows people to see different points of view; to then agree on the best solution. Agile/Hybrid working is perfect as it adds much needed flexibility to your working life. This is very useful, as it enables you to complete the work in your perfect environment to carry on meeting deadlines.

Being new to the company I have found my colleagues to be very welcoming and happy to help with any questions I have. I have felt that no question is a stupid question because of this. I think the triangle system (a system I have never come across) works very well for communication etc. Agile working is a major plus also as I feel if I need to work from home I can without judgement, and this has really helped my work/life balance. I really feel like I have a part to play here and have already being given more responsibility than at my previous employer which is great.
