Why work at D&R
Whatever your role, Davidson & Robertson has a tried and tested training and development pathway to help you achieve your career goals, we will support you whichever direction you choose. There are real opportunities to grow from within the business – three of our Directors joined as placement students.
Teamwork
With five branches, we work hard to make sure we are a close team, working together on projects across Scotland and Northern England. The whole business comes together twice a year for company training days – always a great way to learn something and catch up with colleagues.
We also have a (voluntary) challenge each year – great fun and a great way to take time out and connect outside the office environment. Previous years have seen us take part in the Great Glen Challenge, (where we managed a win!), The Southern Upland Way walk and Hadrian’s Wall Walk. It’s a great way to support our chosen charities, catch up and have some fun together.
