What has it been like working at Moortown Group?
“There’s been a great mix of engineers to learn from and I’ve felt valued doing real work and not just shadowing my colleagues, but really getting stuck in with the team. They have supported and encouraged me along the way, and I’ve never felt uncomfortable to ask for help if it’s needed. It’s a positive working environment here, and it’s really benefitted my confidence levels”.
Which projects have you worked on?
- Field Head Hospital, Wakefield
- Biomass Templeborough, Rotherham
- WREN, Hull
- Bannerdale School, Sheffield
- CTAR, University of Leeds
- Sedburgh Sports Centre, Bradford
- Ash Hill School, Doncaster

Favourite Project?
“I particularly enjoyed working on the Biomass project at Templeborough, Rotherham. I learnt a huge amount, and really felt like a valued member of the Team there. I also really liked working on Bannerdale School, which was my first School project. Again, the team here were really supportive and I was able to make the most of this opportunity”.
What are your future aspirations?
“I’d like to keep working hard within the business, and working on a wide variety of projects. Ultimately, I’d like to progress onto becoming a Project Manager one day”.
We’re looking forward to supporting Drew in his next chapter at Moortown Group.
