This week we caught up with Careys Black Hat Construction Manager, Sorin Turculet, who shared his experience, responsibilities and career highlights with us.

At Careys, we’re passionate about nurturing the future leaders and innovators of our industry.

The Applied platform’s behavioural algorithms ensure that vacancies are filled by the best talent. One of the ways in which the Carey Group honours our commitment to being #bettereveryday and attracting the very best talent to our organisation is by creating amazing environments for our candidates and hiring managers in the recruitment process.

Last week, Katrina, a Careys Civil Engineering quantity surveyor, delivered an opening keynote speech to secondary school students at a biennial careers evening at St Augustine’s Priory, an all-girls school in London.

Careys Civil Engineering has been awarded the contract by Edinburgh Airport Ltd for the Stands Development, Phases 2A and 2B.

Careys robust self-delivery model enables us to offer a wide range of specialist solutions. One way that we significantly support and enhance our self-delivery capabilities is by investing in equipment through Careys Plant & Fleet. As part of this approach, we have recently taken delivery of our first two Wacker Neuson DV90 Dual View trucks, which further strengthens our ability to self-deliver.

Careys has been contracted by Sirius Minerals to serve as principal contractor for the beginning phases of the Woodsmith Mine project in Whitby, Yorkshire. Due to be completed in late 2021, this approximately £3bn venture – which is located in a pristine national park set more than 200m above the north-eastern coast of England – will be the largest mining operation in the UK.

This weekend at the One Nine Elms project in Vauxhall, London, Careys Civil Engineering successfully completed one of our largest continuous concrete pours ever – pouring 4,852m3. That’s equivalent to over 650 trucks of concrete. We also installed 1,400t of rebar reinforcement and 11,000 shear rails. Our meticulous planning and preparation enabled us to deliver this record-setting concrete pour, which trumped our previous, substantial continuous concrete pour of 4,500m3 – at Marchwood Power Station in 2007.

At Careys, we have great people doing phenomenal things. We excel at identifying innovative and efficient solutions that enable us to effectively tackle and overcome some of the industry’s toughest project challenges. We are always learning and applying lessons learnt in order to make our company and capabilities #BetterEveryDay.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary this year, we’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come. Over the past five decades, we’ve grown from driving to our first projects in London in a single transit van to helping to build some of the UK’s most recognisable landmarks.

This week Careys Foundation welcomed an eye-catching new addition to the Carey Group - Hope, the Hitachi Zaxis 225 excavator, which has been spray-painted pink to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer Now, one of Careys Foundation’s charity partners in 2019.

At Careys we’re continually looking for new ways to improve upon the already high quality of our work – part of our commitment to being #BetterEveryDay.
