Where we work
Utilities & Streetworks
Our work in Utilities & Streetworks means we’re the one-stop-shop for the people you need on your infrastructure project. Our colleagues fill the missing piece within your team, helping you to exceed targets, improve efficiency and keep stakeholders happy.
Project managers, site supervisors and utilities coordinators complete our team – they offer support to essential services across the UK including gas, water, telecommunications, electricity, renewables, and EV charging. They work on projects as diverse as repairing a small hole in a cable network, to renewing 200km of mains piping.
We are also providing the specialist expertise needed to support local authorities in reaching their net-zero and clean air zone targets, and in reducing carbon emissions.

We provide services covering all aspects of the Utilities & Streetworks sector, including:
- Project management

Who do we work with?
Our team supports all aspects of utilities maintenance for Tier 1 statutory undertakers, such as water companies, telecommunications providers, power companies and street lighting providers, along with Tier 1 utilities contractors.
