Construction Manager
At Allison Homes, we pride ourselves on being an award-winning private housebuilder dedicated to creating beautiful homes and thriving communities across the East of England, the East Midlands and the South West. Our mission is to build affordable yet aspirational homes that are accessible and attainable for all, delivered with quality, consistency and care.
Our people are at the heart of our success. Collaboration is key to everything we do, and our values of Trust, Teamwork, Kindness, Passion and Performance guide how we operate, support each other, and deliver for our customers.
As we continue to grow, we are seeking enthusiastic and experienced individuals who want to be part of our journey and develop their careers alongside our expansion.
