Careers

At KR Group, we pride ourselves on our positive attitude towards lifelong learning.

This is not restricted to our staff team but begins in our local schools. Working closely with the Developing Young Workforce (DYW) team, we engage with school and community groups, with children aged 5 and above, to raise awareness about the construction sector and promote the industry.

Our involvement ranges from helping with careers fairs and jobs badges; health and safety awareness and fun events; to a range of placement and apprentice opportunities from Work Related Learning modules, work experience and Foundation Apprenticeships, through to Modern Apprenticeships, Internships, University placements and Graduate Apprentices.

Our team have been involved with hosting entrepreneurial events and business enterprises, alongside training staff as Construction Ambassadors and STEM Ambassadors to support our education colleagues.

So if you’re looking to kick start your career, or take things to the next level, keep an eye on our careers page for opportunities to fit or develop your skill sets and interest.

PARTNERSHIP / EMPLOYEE / STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

“Throughout my time at KR Group, I learned from the team, developing skills in time management and problem-solving. My work placement was certainly a highlight of my time at university and I’m so glad I was able to work with such a diligent and commendable team.”

“This has been a very enriching experience for our students – I have seen them both grow as a result of this real work placement and the standard of work issued to them has helped them grow their understanding of the world of work. It also helped them understand their role in a team – that their contribution can impact others. The clear communication of tasks and support offered was excellent and the structured weekly approach helped them stay clear and focused. I have zero doubt that they will both reflect on their time with you and see the value they got from the placement as they go forward to university and work.”
Gale McIntyreCurriculum & Quality Lead for Business | Dundee & Angus College
“KR Group’s commitment to empowering young people with the exposure, skills and experiences to develop their career pathways is really appreciated. It is meaningful industry and community partnerships such as these that allow for enriched, real-world learning opportunities for our pupils. We thank KR Group for their support of the Excelerate endeavours at Portlethen Academy to date and look forward to continue working with them.”
Isla ElliotBusiness & Community Support Officer | Excelerate (Portlethen Academy)
“I could not have enjoyed my time at KR Group more. The experience and training I gained during my time with the Company was second to none, which gave me the confidence to pursue other opportunities. KR Group is an incredible organisation to be a part of, particularly as a student. They value and look after all their staff which creates a great environment to both work and learn in.”

Marc AndersonKR Group Intern & University of Aberdeen Student
“I am a student who carried out a placement with KR Group. The year of my placement was a very different one due to Covid-19, so I undertook it virtually and communicated via emails, phone calls & Zoom calls. Although being virtual did have its challenges, we worked together and managed to keep in close contact & work effectively. Every week I took on a new task or carried out project work. This could be anything from formatting Word documents to market research tasks. This experience allowed me to get an insight into how a business operates.”
Abby MoirBusiness Foundation Apprentice | Aboyne Academy
“During my time on placement with KR Group there has been so much for me to learn. Due to the situation with Covid-19, my placement was virtual which added a whole new aspect of difficulty. However, I am lucky that I was with such an amazing company, who managed to adapt to make sure I was able to meet my criteria. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at KR Group.”
Kyngsley GallowayBusiness Foundation Apprentice | Aboyne Academy
"Working at KR Group as a young person and student is very rewarding. When I started with the Company it was on a day-release programme offered by my school to give students the experience of a workplace, which then turned into a part-time position when I started college the year after. Balancing college and work was very easy as the Company were very accommodating around my studies and there was a lot of flexibility. Now, as the Apprentice Accounts Assistant for the Company, I’m constantly learning and putting those skills into practice. Although my role revolves around Accounts, I’ve been given the opportunity to expand my knowledge in other areas such as Marketing & Operations. It’s really nice to get a mix of skills, experience & knowledge in different areas of the business.”

"I joined KR Group for a spell over the summer, but I enjoyed every minute of working there. All the people working at KR Group are very approachable and were always on hand to help with any queries I had. The company itself is extremely supportive of young people in the workforce and the skills I gained during my work there will definitely be transferable into later areas of work. Overall, it was an extremely positive and rewarding time for me and I couldn’t have asked for a better working environment."
