About Us

At any one time Kier can have around 200 projects in operation across the UK, from Glasgow to Exeter, Cardiff to Newcastle, from rural and suburban to city centre sites. Although we span the nation with our reach, these projects are delivered by local teams, with exceptional local knowledge and supply chain relationships, and a personal pride and passion for the projects that they are creating in their own communities.

We have unrivalled geographical reach through a network of local offices, and our deep-rooted knowledge and understanding of local markets and communities comes from long-standing relationships.

We have the expertise, experience and flexibility to satisfy a range of customer requirements, from a complex, strategic asset costing hundreds of millions of pounds, to a £250k extension to create more classroom space in a school.

Our construction expertise covers a whole spectrum of industry requirements, from our public-sector clients across core sectors like health, education, heritage and leisure through to more specialist projects in aviation, defence, custodial, and scientific sectors, through to core commercial work for private clients in sectors like industrial, offices, retail and residential.

We are known for our ability to problem solve, collaborate and innovate to help cut through complexity, maintain timescales and keep costs to a minimum for our clients.

Apprenticeships

Whether you are a school leaver or student just starting out or have many years of experience and are looking to move in a new direction professionally, our apprenticeships offer a wide range of opportunities across Kier and with our supply chain partners. Kier provides access to a range of exciting careers in the built environment. We are always looking for bright, talented individuals to join our business and become part of the team that create the spaces and places that generate opportunity and prosperity.

We offer more than 25 different apprenticeship programmes - some requiring no or few formal qualifications, others with much higher entry requirements as they lead to qualifications at degree and masters levels. 

If you are currently studying for a degree, our 8-week summer internships and 12-month industrial placements are a great way to immerse yourself in our world.

You will get to look inside a leading infrastructure, building, developments and housing group and find out about the work we do, and the sectors we support. All while getting valuable hands-on experience which will support your studies.

We carefully scrutinise students accepted on internships and industrial placements while they are with us, to identify high performers who would be suitable to fast-track onto our graduate programme at the end of their studies.
