What’s it like to be a part of Firstco?
Chamara
Senior Engineer
”My first impression was that Firstco felt like a second home with amazing and brilliant people who are always willing to help, which is one of the main reasons I believe many of us who joined Firstco during that period have all stayed together for this long, through the ups and the downs, or keep coming back.“
Lara
Project Analyst
”‘Having worked for less than a year before CV had us all working from home, it seems surreal I’ve passed my 3 year anniversary – the time has certainly flown by! I’m very proud of the work we’ve done setting up the cost plan and project tracking process and can’t wait to see where it goes!’
David
Head of Personnel & Office
”I’m particularly proud of the part I’ve played in helping the Company to win our positions on Heathrow Terminal 5, several Crossrail (now Elizabeth Line) sub-projects and others as well as working with Martin Parris to build and sustain our great team in Oman between 2011 and 2014.
Over the years I have loved helping and watching staff grow, in some cases, from not really knowing what they wanted to do as a career to becoming Chartered or Incorporated Engineers or Project Managers. Long may this continue.”
Vaso
Senior Engineer
”Working for Firstco has been such an incredible journey. I’ve been lucky enough to work on some fantastic projects and I’m very grateful for the guidance and support I received over the years. Firstco has allowed me to grow both professionally and personally in a positive and collaborative work environment, which often feels like family. Looking forward to another year!”
Rupert
Director
”17 years is a long time but thanks to the fantastic people, the variety of work, the challenges we’ve overcome and the successes we’ve enjoyed, I’m looking forward to plenty more years to come.”
Carley
Employee Engagement
”From working part-time in sales and marketing to now being Firstco’s people operations manager – it’s been quite the journey and I’m thankful to the directors for taking a chance on me and for allowing me to progress within the company.”
Sadiqa
IT Manager
”Feels like just the other day when I first joined as a PP student. I have learnt so much and developed both professionally and personally here at Firstco all thanks to the lovely people and great opportunities. I very much enjoy what I do and I’m looking forward to many more years to come! “
