Careers FAQs

We pride ourselves in responding to each and every applicant, successful or not. If you are shortlisted for a role, we will make contact with you to book an interview. Once you confirm attendance, we will follow up with details of the interview, so you know where to go, who to meet and what to expect.

Occasionally, we will include a telephone interview, second interview stage, or a test and will always keep you informed about the next steps. Our interviews last about 45 minutes and are designed for us to understand your skills, competencies and behaviours. We usually make decisions within a couple of days of interview and always within a week.

You will be greeted and shown around by your line manager. The first day will be all about meeting your new team and becoming familiar with our Health and Safety and Company Management Systems. It is a good idea to bring some lunch with you, as some of our offices are surrounded by fields and trees. During the first week, you will set objectives as part of your personal development plan.

As a growing business, we are always on the look-out for talented individuals who have the ambition to grow with us. Many of our existing Directors and Managers have worked through the ranks to where they are today.

We are quite relaxed here and more focused on getting the job done well. Smart casual works for most of us.

In general, we work 8.30-4.30 or 9-5 Monday to Friday. As a business that covers a large geographical area, there is a need for flexibility on this. While most support roles include hybrid working arrangements with a minimum of 2 days spent in the office, we welcome you to ask about flexibility at interview stage and we will explore what is possible for the role.

Stonbury operate a price work scheme called PayGo©, allowing Supervisors and Operatives the opportunity to earn the money they deserve for working hard on site. Supervisors receive a scope of works prior to the job commencing, detailing the work required and the earnings for each element of the job. The work completed is booked in weekly and paid out monthly.  You will earn a minimum monthly amount which will increase as you complete the scope of works on site. Typical earnings are £30,000 - £45,000 per annum. Subject to you not declining work you are guaranteed a gross minimum salary of £27,456 (operative) or £32,448 (supervisor) per annum. If you are stood down for reasons beyond your control such as in the case of inclement weather making work impossible or unreasonable, you will be paid at least this minimum monthly salary split across 12 monthly payments or your actual worked hours if greater.
