Leading teams of talented and committed people, you'll have the chance to push your own skills forward on the many challenging and exciting projects Holmes is lucky enough to deliver.

Hard work's a big part of what's got us where we are today, but it's not the final word. At Holmes, we have a vibrant, fun culture. If sport is your thing you can join our touch, indoor netball, or football teams. Bootcamps, ski and cycle trips are also on the menu if you want to get involved, and we've got a range of social functions throughout the year if they take your fancy. We're a friendly, relaxed team that loves getting stuck into great projects, with plenty of fun and good times along the way.
