“I would definitely recommend working at Morgan Sindall Infrastructure, because it's a great company to work for.”

To me, Morgan Sindall Infrastructure is supportive, collaborative and innovative.

The thing that most attracted me to Morgan Sindall Infrastructure was the great interview I had with them at my QUEST interview day. The people were really engaging and personable and I really felt like I was important to them.

My proudest moment was when I'd finished one of my summer placements and I went back to visit and we'd been making a dual carriageway and I was able to drive my car down it. It was really exciting to see the final product and be able to use it like all the other people who were benefitting from that project.

I would definitely recommend working at Morgan Sindall Infrastructure, because it's a great company to work for.

"I was very impressed by Morgan Sindall Infrastructure's ambition and vision"

When I was approached for the role of Resourcing Business Partner I was very impressed by Morgan Sindall Infrastructure’s ambition and vision, and the scope of the role on offer.

I wanted to play my part in achieving the company’s goals, but with a baby due within the first three months of my proposed start date I was hesitant to join as I didn’t want to lose fully paid paternity leave from my then employer. However, after speaking with the HR team I learned about Morgan Sindall Infrastructure’s new Parent Leave Policy, which entitles all colleagues to paid parental leave from their first day!

This was a real showcase of the colleague-first ethos of the business, which made up my mind to join and be a part of a truly inclusive company.

“You’ll be given the support, tools and appropriate training you need to succeed and get to work on impressive projects with fun and interesting colleagues.”

I joined Morgan Sindall Infrastructure after a very enjoyable summer placement, where I got lots of hands-on experience and felt valued and respected. Although slightly daunted by the transition from studying a theoretical engineering degree to working in a practical role, I knew I’d be given the support, tools and appropriate training to succeed and get to work on impressive projects with fun and interesting colleagues.

Wherever you are in the business, people are always willing to take time to answer questions and never make me feel a nuisance for asking!

Outside of my direct role, I’ve been encouraged to give talks in schools and support work experience students, inspiring the next generation of engineers. I’m proud to be a part of Morgan Sindall Infrastructure.

"I wouldn’t have gained the experience I have today if I’d chosen another route in the early stages of my career.”

I was attracted to Morgan Sindall Infrastructure because it’s a large business with extensive capabilities, which would present exciting opportunities and the chance to work on major schemes.

My career journey began in 2015, completing Level 2 and 3 apprenticeships in Construction Site Operations. I then joined a Level 4 Construction Site Engineering Technician apprenticeship; this involved completing a HNC in Civil Engineering at Solent University in Southampton. I attended lectures one day each week to learn what was required to complete coursework and exams. Completing the Level 4 apprenticeship also meant I could apply for EngTech MICE professional membership with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). I now proudly use these letters after my name! I’m also proud to have won the ICE Jean Venables Medal 2001 for the presentation that I gave as part of my ICE EngTech professional review.

I’m currently enrolled on a Level 6 Construction Site Management (degree) apprenticeship at Coventry University which includes a BSc in Construction Management. It can be challenging to juggle my work, learning and home life but Morgan Sindall Infrastructure supports me, offering solutions to carry out my role to the best of my ability. I wouldn’t have gained the experience I have today if I’d chosen another route early in my career.

My career has been quite a journey so far. Leaving school at 16, I worked in the public sector for 10 years in several roles including at museums, a contact centre and as a government policy writer. I left the public sector as I wanted to be closer to the ‘doing’ side of things, and worked for a water company for several years before joining Morgan Sindall Infrastructure in 2017.

My career has given me skills that I wouldn’t have gained if I had taken the more traditional route of staying in school and going to university. Due to my background, I also have a legal understanding of how the water industry operates, and my career has meant that I find it easy to work with stakeholders as I can understand their ways of thinking.

I joined Morgan Sindall Infrastructure as my real interest is in delivery, particularly problem solving and improving communities. I had worked with them in my previous role so jumped at the chance to join.

My experience is that as a company Morgan Sindall Infrastructure really cares about its people and retaining them, and we get rewarded accordingly. But equally importantly, we care about the solutions we deliver for customers and want to make sure that we do the right thing.

"I would absolutely recommend Morgan Sindall Infrastructure to other graduates”

I would describe Morgan Sindall infrastructure as investing, supportive and kind.

I went for interviews with a number of companies at my QUEST Interview Day and Morgan Sindall Infrastructure just struck me as really caring about their colleagues.

I would absolutely recommend Morgan Sindall Infrastructure to other graduates because I think they put time and effort in training their graduates up to the standard, putting them on good training courses and providing support for their wellbeing.

"Everyone has been friendly, helpful and you feel a real togetherness in wanting the business to succeed.”

I think it was my early obsession with LEGO® and making things that set me on the path to engineering!

I’ve always been a ‘bridge geek’ and fascinated by big construction projects. I studied civil engineering as a sponsored student, going on to work on a major city centre development in Leicester and within a bid team in central London. I was then seconded to a design company to gain experience for my Chartership with the Institution of Civil Engineers.

Having spent the first few years of my career focusing on buildings and structures, I switched to civil engineering, working in a proposals role. After a few years, I took over the proposals team and worked on bids across highways, water, energy, aviation and the environment.

I found highways bids to be the most challenging and enjoyable, so it was an easy decision when I was approached about an opportunity in highways with Morgan Sindall Infrastructure. I joined in January 2022 and haven’t looked back!

One of the things that attracted me to Morgan Sindall Infrastructure was the scope and scale of the projects we’re delivering. The major highways projects, plus schemes such as HS2, Thames Tideway and the Lower Thames Crossing were really appealing. These types of project made me want to be a civil engineer in the first place.

I’ve been in work winning for more than ten years now and still get the same buzz. When the result of a bid comes in, there’s huge anticipation, a bit of nervousness as we open the email and then elation if our company is in first place.

The thing I enjoy most about Morgan Sindall Infrastructure is the people. I’ve worked with many of our highways staff, company support staff and met quite a few people from other sectors. Everyone has been friendly, helpful and you feel a real togetherness in wanting the business to succeed.

From the start, it’s been clear that a blended approach to office and adaptable working is supported by the business. It enables us to maintain face to face contact with our teams, but also enhances wellbeing by reducing the amount of time we’re travelling.

I enjoy coming into the Rugby office and feel that Morgan Sindall Infrastructure is a great place to work. The induction was a great example of this: an in depth and collaborative process that really demonstrates our friendly and supportive culture from day one.

"In all my years with the company, I can’t think of a single occasion where support wasn’t offered when required.”

I joined the armed forces from school, serving with the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards. It was during this service that I learned the foundation of skills that would best equip me on my career path.

I started employment with Elec-Trac Installations (ETI) as a general labourer back in 2002, which was acquired by Morgan Sindall Group in 2007. Shortly after this I was given the opportunity to learn planning. As the years progressed, I showed a strong interest and understanding of management and leadership within the organisation, which was recognised by the senior team. After two further promotions, and a three-year degree apprenticeship in Business and Management, in which I achieved a first-class honours and a distinction for the apprenticeship element, I progressed to my current role as Operations Manager, contributing towards a dynamic leadership team within Morgan Sindall’s Rail business.

For me the attribute that best describes Morgan Sindall Infrastructure is that there’s always a focus on the areas that are so important to society, such as diversity and inclusion, the gender pay gap, environmental commitments or the employee assistance programme. The culture set by the senior team is then embraced through the business units, making Morgan Sindall Infrastructure a pleasurable place to work for all.

One of the things I enjoy most about my job is the constant change. This always brings new challenges and allows me to draw upon skills learned on my managerial journey. Also, help and advice is always available. In all my years with the company, I can’t think of a single occasion where support wasn’t offered when required.

During my early years working on track, I was a single parent for my young daughter, who is now 21! I’ll always remember and be forever grateful for the help offered by management. Flexible hours and abnormal working shifts against the standard pattern are just a few examples, as the Morgan Sindall Infrastructure staff were fully appreciative of my circumstances. Without this support, I would have had little choice but to change career paths.

I joined Morgan Sindall Infrastructure as an administration assistant in 2011. I enjoyed the role, however seeing the career routes within the business made me decide I’d like to progress within the company.

While working as a senior secretary supporting the commercial director, I found an interest in commercial roles. Being unable to work away on site, estimating was suggested to me as a good career option that would enable me to work in one location, but learn commercial skills and have great prospects. I began working with the precontract team one day a week until an assistant estimator role became available. Then as an assistant estimator I attended Birmingham City University one day a week over five years, achieving an HNC in Construction, and a degree in Quantity Surveying.

My experience in the service industry, and in a support function during my first years here have given me valuable relationship building and organisational skills, as well as an understanding of the areas and projects within the business.

I joined Morgan Sindall Infrastructure as I was looking for a secure employer that could support me for the long term and provide varied opportunities. I feel Morgan Sindall Infrastructure is set apart by its reputation as a responsible business both financially and in our community and environmental programmes. There’s a culture of wanting to do the right thing in all areas, and a willingness to listen.

To any female who is interested in joining the industry, I’d say there’s absolutely nothing you can’t do. The whole industry at every level is genuinely an open door for women if you have the interest and the appetite to take the opportunities available.

Without a doubt, I most enjoy working at Morgan Sindall Infrastructure because of the people. There are so many incredibly experienced people here, who are always willing to share their time and knowledge, and it makes working here fulfilling. The work can be challenging and high-pressure but when your colleagues are like-minded and friendly, even the biggest challenges become enjoyable.
