An East Yorkshire company that creates modular buildings for high profile clients – including the NHS, Manchester Airport Group, and Timpson – has announced it is growing and will be hiring for new roles.
Premier Modular of Brandesburton, near Driffield, is moving towards a round-the-clock production to match the increased demand for its modular solutions.
Reinforcing its long-term commitment to regional investment and employment, the team’s new operating model will require additional people power and further job creation for the local area.
Through a series of carefully planned ramp-up operations, Premier Modular’s factory is expected to generate an additional 1,000 production hours per week by May, rising to approximately 1,600 hours per week from July, over a 300% increase in hours from the initial escalation stage in April.
To support this growth, a further 40 to 50 job roles are anticipated, as night operations continue to develop. Recruitment will span a wide spectrum of roles, from entry-level positions to high, multi-skilled trades, particularly in joinery.
Opportunities will also include forklift truck drivers, quality controllers, stores operative, supervisors and production leadership roles.
Commenting on the expansion of the business, David Harris, Managing Director of Premier Modular, said: “This growth is not just about increasing output, it is about investing in people.
“The decision to extend Premier Modular’s operations reflect both the scale of our future pipeline of work, and our dedication to developing our team.
“We aim to ensure a smooth transition into our next phase of growth, while maintaining our high standards of quality and delivery. We remain committed to innovating, advancing and providing jobs that can develop skills and offer long-term career pathways, including through apprenticeships.
“We’re on a growth journey, and we want the local community to be part of that journey too.”
As Premier Modular expands its workforce, there will likely be an increase in the number of apprenticeships available. Currently, 5% of its total workforce already on such a programme.
Opportunities for the existing team are also a priority, with a clear focus on staff development and pathways for existing factory employees to advance into roles such as Cell Leaders. Visit here for Careers Information.
