Work
with Lydon

It takes a team to build a home, and that’s why we’ve built a culture at Lydon that means you work with us, not for us. Many of our team have been with us for years. They stay because they feel valued.

We see our team as an extension of the family. We go out of our way to make everyone feel welcomed and valued.

Construction can be a seasonal industry depending on when projects start and end, but for people working in the industry, it can be hard to plan when the future’s uncertain. That’s why we take care to make sure our builders, fitters, carpenters, and plumbers have steady work even during the quieter times before the next major development gets under way.

And in return, they reward us with loyalty that goes back decades. The newer members of the team benefit by learning from their experienced colleagues – so our customers get the same consistently high levels of quality we’re known for.

Mental Health Support

Construction can be physically demanding work, but mental health matters too. If you’re experiencing difficult circumstances, we’ll support you discreetly and in confidence. You’ll get help to manage stress and focus on your wellbeing.

Company Social Events

Hard work deserves rewards and we celebrate our wins together. Our social events are famous throughout the industry for bringing together our team and all the partners we work with to make developments happen.

Employee Testimonial
“In 1989 having already more than 10 years as a machine driver I came to work for the company. I had been driving the old style JCB’s up to that point and was asked to drive a new telescopic forklift. We were one of the first companies in the country to hold tickets as at the time they weren’t mandatory. I knew that this was the right company for me, I always feel heard and any suggestions or improvements that I flag are acted on and taken seriously. There is a sense of being supported in every way. I really enjoyed the wellness events and found that they really encouraged open discussions on mental health, helping to remove the stigma attached.”

There is a great work life balance, we are regularly encouraged to avail of the bike to work scheme and Employee Assistance Programme."

"I started young with the company, straight out of school. That was 48 years ago, so I think that tells the whole story of how I have always been treated and respected. There has always been honesty, loyalty, give and take and all of this has gone both ways. An attitude of fairness, easy to work with, helpful to employees and always understanding, this attitude has been extended to not only direct employees but all people that the company engages with."
