What makes us different?

We’re inclusive

At Balfour Beatty our commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace starts with our behaviours and our Right to Respect programme. By making clear the behaviours we expect and empowering our colleagues and partners to hold each other to account, we’re not only creating a workplace where everyone can reach their potential, we are also influencing the wider industry and sectors we operate in.

We welcome everyone to consider a career with us, whether you are just starting out, or whether you are an experienced professional. 

We provide opportunities

With us, you will have access to a wide range of opportunities to grow your career, including moving roles internally. You will also have access to the Balfour Beatty Academy which provides formal and informal learning resources, tools and development opportunities that support professional and personal growth, at every stage of your career.

Leaving a positive impact 

Much like the infrastructure we build and maintain, the positive impact we leave in the communities, where we live, work and play, lasts for generations. Being sustainable is one of our core values and our Building New Futures Sustainability Strategy is driving how we operate as a business. It’s integral to how we’re Building New Futures for Balfour Beatty, our industry, communities, the environment, and for all our stakeholders.

As a leader in construction and infrastructure, we understand that being sustainable means balancing environmental responsibility with social responsibility, while continually seeking new ideas and different ways of doing things. We are curious about the world and how we can look after it and our people.
