Team Motive is not just a slogan. Being part of a team is just that, and knowing there are colleagues you can rely on is a comforting aspect of working with Motive. I can ask any member of Motive - from the CEO to the youngest apprentice - for help, knowing they will do all they can to assist. There are not many companies where this is the case."
Motive is a genuinely nice place to work, everyone gets on and there is a good atmosphere. I’ve been with the company nearly 7 years now and still love that every day is different. Managers are always approachable, and hard work is noticed and rewarded."
I’ve been at Motive for over a decade - it’s been really rewarding to watch the company grow and achieve all it has. Management actively encourage people to follow what they’re good at. I’ve had some fantastic opportunities, putting my technical skills to good use working onsite all over the world."
