| Balfour Beatty Construction Services UK restructure Balfour Beatty, Britain's largest construction company, announced the next step in the implementation of its strategic focus and efficiency programme, detailed at the full year announcement in March, through a restructure of its Construction Services UK business. The new business will operate through three business streams and will better integrate our service offering to customers. Centralised support functions will also be introduced. This model, which will become operational from January 2013, consists of: Major infrastructure - focused on complex projects in key sectors such as energy and transportation. Regional mechanical & electrical - across all sectors. Regional civil engineering and building - providing locally delivered, flexible and fully integrated civils and building services through partnerships and frameworks to our strategic customers. A new senior leadership team, which will be announced at the end of May, will take the new business forward during a transition period which will run through to January 2013. The existing management team across the Construction Services UK operating companies will remain in place during the transition period. A redundancy programme will be required to effect the changes in the business and Balfour Beatty estimates that of the 12,000 employees within Balfour Beatty Construction Services UK, approximately 650 roles will be made redundant. Operational employees involved in project delivery will not be affected. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
