Pros

I've been here for two years now and I really enjoy what I do. I started out as an apprentice, and upon completing my course I moved into my new role, and throughout my time here I have seen/benefitted from plenty of opportunities to develop in what I do. I've attended internal events, conferences, external events, and site visits, and it has been great to keep learning more about the business. I work within a team that's also super supportive, with plenty of people I know I can approach if I need anything at all, as well as my manager, who understands any needs I may have and is always on hand to help. Whilst I don't work in a flexible way (in terms of condensed hours, etc) I'm able to work from home as and when I need, if I've got appointments to attend or if I just need to be home, and it's great to have that.

Cons

IT has always been a bit of a frustration, and whilst it isn't a constant hindrance to me in my role, it is just a bit annoying with things being a little slow every now and then, but it isn't totally unbearable - just slightly frustrating.

Thanks for the five stars! It's brilliant to hear that you are enjoying your time with us at Kier, and that you have experienced progression opportunities since finishing your apprenticeship, as well as having further opportunities to get out amongst the different parts of the business. It's also brilliant to read how you are working within a really supportive team, and that our approach to agile/flexible working is supporting you as well. We understand that there are frustrations around IT, we're continuing to work on this, and the feedback as well as advice to management is much appreciated.

Pros

Visible and accessible strong leadership from senior management. Excellent development and engagement to make you feel valued and rewarded. Great employee benefits such as pensions, sharesaves and discount schemes

Cons

None, except the industry as a whole finds it difficult to attract people to a very enjoyable construction and infrastructure market sector
