We are the UK’s largest privately owned engineering and construction company and we deliver vital infrastructure and buildings projects for clients in the UK, Middle East and Australia. In the UK, we have a unique operating model based on digital design and advanced manufacturing technologies, and we deliver our projects via our integrated supply chain of specialist in-house businesses. This increases alignment and reduces risk during the construction programme – providing the certainty clients and investors want.

We manufacture a wide range of components for projects at our UK factories, in the East and West Midlands. Our flagship manufacturing facility is the Laing O’Rourke Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction, in which we have invested more than £200m since it opened in 2009. Today it is Europe’s most advanced facility for manufactured concrete products, and has supplied high quality components to more than 300 UK buildings and infrastructure projects.

A message from our Managing Director

I happen to think that construction is one of the most exciting sectors in the world. Our teams have the privilege of delivering buildings and infrastructure that keep our communities going. We build hospitals that enable the NHS to care for all of us; the science and research facilities that house scientists seeking cures, treatments and vaccinations for diseases. We’re there to build the defence estates that allow our armed forces to keep us safe and the data centres that keep our ever-more-technical world working. We’re front and centre of creating the infrastructure for green energy – supporting our country’s net zero ambitions, and we help connect communities through improved rail. The way we deliver that through our manufacturing led approach will change people’s lives for the better and transform productivity.

None of it is possible without teams of hugely talented people. Our people, including our direct workforce and our staff, are the heart of our business and what sets us apart in the market so if you are looking for the next move in your career and want to be part of building the UK’s future, then Laing O’Rourke is the place for you. 

Pete Lyons

I first joined Laing O’Rourke in 2002 as a young civil engineer and have been lucky enough to work across various projects, and to lead our specialist businesses so can personally testify for the company’s commitment to providing its people with opportunities to grow and thrive. The sector has changed in many ways since my own career began – both in terms of technologies used to deliver projects but also in the diversity of its people and our expectations of what we each want from work. But there’s so much more to do, which I see through my role as a member of our Diversity and Inclusion Council. We welcome people who keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in service of humanity through care, integrity and courage.

Whether you are new to our industry or have decades of experience, I encourage you to take a closer look at the opportunities we have available now at Laing O’Rourke.
