The on-going success of our company depends on a professional, highly skilled and motivated workforce, as our markets and the technologies deployed continue to evolve in the transition towards a low carbon economy.
At the end of 2010 we employed 8,039 people across a wide range of disciplines from engineering and project management, to trading, commercial development, operations and sales to support services such as finance, human resources, IT and marketing.
Recognising that our sector as a whole could face skills shortages in the future, it is important that we attract the best young talent for development and retain the high levels of knowledge and skill contributed by employees with long experience.
We achieve this by encouraging and rewarding success, and providing an environment where employee safety and wellbeing, personal development, effective leadership and work-life balance are valued.
Our employees enjoy a range of benefits, including market competitive salaries and holidays, sick pay, pension, family friendly policies, childcare vouchers, occupational health, leisure facilities at larger sites and discount schemes.
We have a suite of Human Resources policies, covering a range of issues from Equal Pay and Opportunities to Alcohol and Drugs and Whistleblowing.
All of our policies and actions towards employees are aimed at achieving leading edge employment practices and comply fully with EU employment laws. This prohibits the use of child labour and forced labour.
