Careers

Work to protect what matters

Looking for a career where your work protects people, property, and critical sites? Where your skills make a difference and your career keeps moving forward?

You’ll find it here, at Pointer.

Over 200 people work with us across the UK. Some started as apprentices and now lead major projects. Some joined as experienced professionals and built careers they never planned for, but wouldn’t change.

What they all share is this: the satisfaction of protecting what matters.
