CPS has grown rapidly in recent years, since 2018 our number of Employees has increased by 175%. In 2022 CPS achieved our milestone of over 150 Employees. – and we are always looking to recruit the best talent in the industry to partner with us. One of the ways we do that is by focusing on people. We love to see our Employee’s progress, so we have a company-wide emphasis on training, and on supporting and promoting our own people wherever possible.
While the wider industry continues to suffer from a severe skills shortage, we are also investing heavily in Apprentices. The CPS Apprenticeship scheme has a track record in nurturing and promoting talented new people, with a carefully tailored programme and dedicated mentors to support Trainees as they learn. Austen Diaper, Projects Director, and Christy Brookes, Head of our Major Renewables Department, both started at CPS as apprentices. Since 2012, CPS has employed over 35 apprentices.
We’re delighted that our reputation as a great place to work is being recognised outside CPS. In 2018, we were shortlisted for the Employer of the Year award at the prestigious Cambridge News Business Excellence Awards. We were also named Employer of the Year by Cambridge Regional College in 2016.

CPS carried out the works quietly and efficiently with little or no inconvenience to anyone. The College staff found them very easy to deal with and the finished job is superb. We have enjoyed excellent relations with CPS for many years now (going back to shortly after they started out) and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Phillip Law, Operations Manager, Downing College
