There has never been a better time to join United Living Infrastructure Services as we build a team to deliver major infrastructure construction projects across the UK supporting the governments Net Zero transition targets.
A subsidiary of United Living Group, United Living Infrastructure Services provide design, construction, commissioning and maintenance services for the UK's critical energy and water infrastructure.
Working in partnership with our clients, which are the UK’s largest network owners and operators, we work on highly complex projects to deliver resilient infrastructure, meeting the needs of local communities as well as national interests.
One of our key strengths lies in our ability to deliver projects nationally, but also ensuring that within each programme of work, we engage with local communities.
