What makes us a
best place to work?
We’re proud to be listed #27 in Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work in the UK 2026!
Creating a culture where everyone feels they can belong, contribute and thrive has long been a priority for us. Over the years, we've introduced a wide range of policies, benefits and initiatives designed in partnership with Kier colleagues, to support our people and their families.
Finding a place on Glassdoor's best places to work list is extra special, as it comes purely from reviews posted by past and present colleagues.
Our ongoing commitment to building a strong, positive culture is delivering real results and to see this recognised through our very first appearance on Glassdoor's Best Places to Work list is something we're incredibly proud of!

"I'm really proud to see Kier on Glassdoor's best places to work list as this is based on feedback directly from our own people so it really matters.
Our people work hard to ensure we deliver for our customers and define who we are. In turn, we work hard to think about how we support them and their careers and how to make Kier a place where everyone can belong, contribute and thrive. It’s great to see that and our strong culture coming through so clearly”
