Workplace

We want our people to get the most of their careers with Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Services. We’ve developed programmes and policies designed to help them achieve their potential across the wide range of opportunities, communicate openly, provide a safe working environment, provide equal opportunities for everyone and ensure diversity of the business and equality of employment.

Training and development - Attracting and retaining the right people is at the heart of our success. We want our people to consider Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Services as a long-term career. This means enabling all of our people to reach their full potential, recognising that individuals want to progress different ways and increasing the range of career and development opportunities. We have personal development opportunities for all career routes whether they are for technical disciplines or management.

We also acknowledge that our employees may want to develop their careers by seizing opportunities in other Balfour Beatty companies.

Personal development review - All our people should be clear about the level of competences and behaviours expected of them and how well their performance matches these expectations. Managers and staff are encouraged to give and receive feedback during their annual personal development review and discuss career aspirations and personal development programme.

Staff satisfaction surveys - Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Services also obtains feedback from employees through its annual employee survey.

Diversity - We aim to bring together a workforce as diverse as the communities we serve. For us, diversity is not about ticking off a list of criteria such as gender, age or religion. It is about creating an inclusive working environment where people are valued for their skills and contribution; it's about creating a culture where people are treated as individuals.

Equality - We are also committed to providing equality in employment and this is embedded in all our personnel policies and procedures, for example our recruitment, training and career development practices.
