At our Highlight project, we’re constructing an active wellbeing hub for Hartlepool Borough Council that will support the local community.

But at Wates, our commitment goes beyond bricks and mortar.

We believe business should be a force for good. That’s why we invest our time, energy and resources into inspiring and developing future talent.

Recently, we welcomed Haitham Halboun, a second-year Construction Management student from Northumbria University, for a work placement. His time on site has already made a lasting impact:

This internship has changed my career aspirations. I planned to become a property developer, but my experience has led me to focus on project management roles.”

“Observing the range of responsibilities from planning and execution to ensuring timely delivery has inspired me to pursue this career. The challenge of managing a project that aligns with client standards and deadlines appeals to me.”
