Working for ASCO
Together we are a multi-generational, multi-cultural workforce who believe in providing a safe, diverse and positive working environment for all.
We believe in developing our people’s talents. People are at the very core of our business and we want every employee to realise his or her potential. We offer a wide range of challenging and fulfilling career opportunities in locations around the globe for individuals that are motivated and passionate about being the best.
ASCO is committed to supporting and promoting Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (ED&I). This commitment is embraced by our Group Board and our Management Board and informs all of our activities and their impact on our customers, employees and our stakeholders.
We support both hybrid working and job share where the requirements of the role permit - please see individual adverts for details.
ASCO is a Disability Confident Committed Employer.
Why work for us?
We listen to what our employees want from their career and provide different forms of recognition and reward during the employee lifecycle, ranging from personal development to financial incentives including wellbeing and lifestyle benefits.
Personal and career development opportunities are available, as well as specific programmes to nurture the very best of those who are just starting out in our industry.
So, if you’re hardworking, ambitious, inquisitive and love a challenge, ASCO could be the place for you.
Our success comes from your achievements.
We want our employees to thrive and achieve their highest potential. We are passionate about creating an environment that provides opportunities for the most interesting and rewarding careers. We encourage innovation and welcome new perspectives by attracting and developing people with diverse talent who inspire our thinking, challenge our solutions and enhance our company culture.
One of our key values is being Fair And Respectful.
Here at ASCO we believe that all people are equal and every person deserves to be treated fairly and with respect, regardless of who they are and where they come from. We have an Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Committee who actively engage with all ASCO locations to help drive and support ED&I initiatives.
Helping colleagues along the way
Our number one priority is to look after our staff and their well-being. For many years the ASCO Lifestyle team have received confidential requests for support on behalf of colleagues who are experiencing difficult circumstances. The reasons for requests vary greatly and the Lifestyle team make it their mission to donate to private appeals, organise SPA treatments or nights away for colleagues suffering from serious illnesses, arrange for flower deliveries or donations to colleagues who experience a tragic loss.
We are passionate about developing our talent and providing career opportunities across the globe for those who are motivated and passionate about being the best.
Our Performance Development Plans are based on ability and talent. Our people are recognised for both their contribution to their service area and the wider business.
We asked some of our colleagues what it's like to work for ASCO and what a typical day is like for them. See below to read through their stories and learn more about our global employees.
Our Stories
At ASCO you will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge, expand your skills, see the world and work with both inspiring colleagues and influential clients – whatever your passion, we have an opportunity that will bring out the best in you. But don’t just take our word for it; below you can see what some of our people had to say.
Since joining as a graduate almost ten years ago, I have had many opportunities to learn, develop and progress, and that's what's exciting about working here. I have held various roles, but I really enjoy the diversity of project management, as it allows me to interact with so many different areas of the business, and every day is different.
I have been presented with many opportunities for personal and career development - being able to grow and show my full potential within a supportive workplace is why I enjoy working at ASCO.
There is a favourable working environment, I feel valued as a woman in a typically male-dominated environment, and I am making a positive impact in the workforce. As a mother of young twins, ASCO gives me a certain flexibility to be able to combine family and working life.
I enjoy working at ASCO because of the different kind of opportunities that can arise if you put the work in, and also how focused ASCO are on development, always looking to improve for both employees and as a business.
Since joining ASCO I have thoroughly enjoyed this interesting and rewarding role. I was fortunate to get a tour of a client's boat docked in Peterhead which gave me a better understanding of how important my work is.
ASCO has and continues to demonstrate a consistently high standard regarding safety, process and procedures, which aligns with my own core values.
I enjoy working at ASCO due to the diversity in our work. But above all it is the people and our work-environment that makes ASCO a good place to work.
I like that ASCO is a big company with the culture of a small company; everyone knows each other and we all collaborate well when it comes to big projects/tenders. It's also an environment where you can see the results of your efforts and the pace of change is accelerating as we embrace digitisation.
I love that our working environment is collaborative and the fact that I am a part of a team who share the same vision and are dedicated to the growth and advancement of ASCO. The variability of my job is what I enjoy as each of our clients have differing requirements and present unique ways of working.
