We're on a mission...
...to attract skilled and passionate people into our industry.
A military mindset and values such as commitment, discipline, courage, respect and integrity are invaluable qualities for a career in construction.
Morgan Sindall Construction has a long history of supporting service families, both during their time in service and during their reintegration into civilian life. Many of our employees, their families and our supply chain members have had a service career and we recognise that those transitioning from the military to resettlement have an impressive wealth of transferable skills and knowledge, perfectly suited for a career in the construction industry.
Our service leavers deploy their experience in governance and leadership when it comes to problem solving and communicating with a range of business and community stakeholders. Their exceptional planning and programming skills are utilised when it comes to time, resource, and people management of a project. Finally, a commitment to risk management and quality – getting the job done on time and delivered safely, might well be known as End Exercise (End Ex) during a military career, but for us, we call it Perfect Delivery.
Our GOLD accreditation with the Armed Forces Covenant
Morgan Sindall Construction is accredited to the Gold standard of the Armed Forces Covenant - the highest honour under the scheme. For us it’s a promise to supporting the people who have protected us.
The accreditation is held by all Morgan Sindall Group companies, so you can be assured you're joining a business where veterans and their families are supported and valued.
If you are a Morgan Sindall Construction employee, whether you are a service leaver yourself or you are the partner or spouse of someone who is serving in the Armed Forces, like all our employees you will receive competitive benefits to support your home life. Such as enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave, as well as a range of policies that support those important life moments – military dependents leave, bereavement, carers responsibilities, illness, menopause and retirement. If you're a Cadet Force Adult Volunteer, you'll also be supported under our volunteering policy.
Our Wellbeing Toolkit is focused around three key factors – Financial, Psychological and Physical, as a result our employees are able to access a range of discount portals, services to support their wellbeing and a 24/7 employee assistance hotline.
We don’t believe one size fits all when it comes to flexible and agile working and so encourage these open conversations between our employees and their line managers to find a solution that suits people and business.
We're also committed to those who are currently serving in the Reserves too by providing the resources and support people need to do their day job at Morgan Sindall Construction, alongside a challenging additional role as part of the Armed Forces family. We provide 10 additional days paid leave for those who are mobilised or required to attend training.
