Laing O'Rourke Opportunities
Are you attending Buildforce in the hope of finding your next opportunity in construction? Laing O'Rourke are recruiting for live and forecast vacancies in our core sectors. These include opportunities in Defence, Nuclear, Healthcare, Power, Science & Research.
About us
Underpinned by more than 150 years of construction and engineering expertise, our DfMA 70:60:30 approach focuses on manufacturing 70 per cent of a project off site, and so improving productivity by 60 per cent and achieving a 30 percent reduction in programme.
Today, this approach is enabling us to deliver our UK projects faster, more safely – with fewer people on site - and greener.
During the pandemic the benefits of our modern methods of construction have become more apparent to both public and private sector clients – having been instrumental to our ability to maintain progress on projects through the crisis. As well as boosting productivity, it is the means to creating a sector that is digitally skilled, more diverse and, as a result, more innovative.
To ensure our model delivers the certainty clients need, we have invested in the technology and people to deliver world-class solutions and pioneer new ones:
- Offsite manufacturing – we have invested £200M to create the Laing O'Rourke Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction in Nottinghamshire. This is the most advanced concrete products manufacturing facility in Europe and has produced precision components for more than 350 UK buildings and infrastructure projects. In the future, it will produce lower carbon products for more of our projects.
- Digital engineering – thanks to our digital engineers, we build every project twice – virtually and then physically. This allows us to de-risk both the design and construction phases of projects, and once we are on site our digital work packs link models to construction activity to improve productivity.
- Direct delivery – unlike our competitors in the UK we have an integrated supply chain. This gives us greater visibility of costs, maximises integration across disciplines and minimises risk through the delivery process. We retain the knowledge learned on a project and use it to deliver certainty for our next client.
Laing O'Rourke supports the full design and build of projects from early engagement to commissioning and handover. This means many opportunities at each stage of a project lifecycle from strategic work winning roles to positions in handover.
We are looking for individuals with skills in the following areas:
- SC Cleared support staff - Office / Security Management
- Vetting Coordination & Management
- Civil Engineering Project Management
- Strategy & Transformation
- Programme Management Office
- Procurement
- Health & Safety
- Document Control (Information Management)
- Digital Engineering (Building Information Modelling)
- Planning
- HV Power
- Passive Firestopping

Why us?
We work hard to ensure all our people benefit from structured career support – and get the training they need to reach their potential.
This includes full-time development programmes as well as shorter on-the-job learning modules with our belief that learning shouldn't be restricted to the classroom. We support our people to be the best they can be in their careers and place great importance on professional development.
