Careers

We’re people who take our careers seriously.

But we have quite a bit of fun doing it!

When it comes to hiring we believe how we fit together is even more important than the experience you may have.

The right fit doesn’t mean you have to fit a job description right down to the last period. Sometimes job descriptions don’t allow for different experiences and perspectives. And these different experiences are what can make a company great.

The right fit means that we share a common set of core values.

These core values drive the right people to do the right thing. They speak up. They reach and strive for more. They say, “Hey! I know a better way to do this and I need to do something about it!” They’re engaged.

The right fit includes people who work well in an environment without a lot of bureaucracy. These people don’t need systems and policies to ensure they do the right thing but are comfortable making decisions and working independently.

But don’t confuse lack of bureaucracy with a lack of systems, processes, checks and balances to help and ensure quality work is done and to speed up that work. Every big successful company has to have some of these.

The difference is that at EllisDon, the systems and processes are the car and the people of EllisDon are the drivers. The people can take that car wherever they want, free from bureaucracy that stops them from changing it and making it better.

In fact we expect everyone at EllisDon to change it and make it better.

Because we don’t have a lot of bureaucracy we have to trust people. We tell everyone to trust each other, and we DO trust each other. We go out of our way to be open and share information with everyone who works here.

And we give them the support they need to improve or take on more complex challenges. 

Most companies believe employees work for shareholders. We believe our employees are the only reason we exist. We work for each other and we’re all accountable to each other. We’re an employee owned company and we’re helping each other create a great place to be.

A career at EllisDon – it really is all up to you!
