Flexible working

We support everyone to be the best they can.

We want a workforce that better reflects society, and offer our employees an environment that gives them flexibility through working arrangements and benefits.

Flexible working

We introduced our sector-leading family leave policies in 2020.

Since then, we have become one of the first construction companies to support flexible working across our business, including for site-based employees. In 2024, we further enhanced these policies.

We aim for all our roles to be flexible, and we already specify this in all new vacancies.

 

We’ve designed our six flexible working principles to allow our colleagues and teams to develop working patterns that suit them. This allows everyone to perform at their best.

  • It’s for everyone.
  • It should be mutually beneficial.
  • It’s about the team.
  • It involves give or take.
  • It must be leader-led.
  • It’s about context.
