Overview

Glanville Environmental is a reputable and thriving drainage and civil engineering company that has been a driving force in the South West region for over three decades. With our recent contract wins, continuous expansion, and an impressive portfolio of clients secured through long-term contracts, we are seeking talented individuals to join our passionate team. If you are ready to make your mark in the industry and be part of a family-owned business, this is your opportunity to thrive.

We are looking for dedicated Civils Operatives to join our dynamic and responsive Reactive Civils Team, based in Devon. Operating from our Greendale depot in Exeter, you’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with teams across our other depots in Plympton, St Austell, and Yelland.
