Colleagues have to say
What I appreciate most about McLaren is the dynamic nature of the work—no two days are ever the same. The challenges I encounter keep me engaged, and the variety offers endless opportunities to learn and grow. While the work can be demanding, it’s equally rewarding, as it pushes me to develop both professionally and personally.The support I’ve received from leadership and mentors has been exceptional. McLaren truly invests in its employees' growth, providing valuable learning opportunities and fostering a culture of continuous development. I look forward to building a long-term career within McLaren.
When I joined McLaren in 2017 as a Site Secretary, I had no idea how much McLaren would shape my career. McLaren has not only supported my passion for health and safety but also empowered me to transition into my current role as an HSW Advisor. What truly stands out to me at McLaren is the culture of knowledge sharing. Whether it's learning from colleagues or passing on what I've learned, there's a constant exchange of industry expertise that enriches everyone’s work. This commitment to growth and collaboration is what makes McLaren such a great place to work.
Since I joined McLaren two years ago, I had a strong feeling from the start that McLaren would be a good fit for me—and I was right! The company has given me incredible opportunities to explore various areas within the business, giving me valuable experience and insights. I’ve been able to work on diverse projects, collaborate with talented teams, and continually learn new skills. As I look ahead, I see numerous pathways for further development and growth in my career, which makes me excited about my future here at McLaren.
Building a more
Gender balanced industry
One of our key goals is to challenge the traditional perceptions of the construction industry and eliminate its one-dimensional image. Increasingly, more women are pursuing careers in what has historically been considered a male-dominated field.
Thousands of exceptionally talented women are building successful careers in construction, and we are committed to promoting equal opportunities and fostering a more gender-balanced workforce.
We aim to inspire future generations of women considering a career in construction through partnerships with schools and colleges, we engage younger generations to showcase the vast opportunities in a sector transformed by technology, which relies on skilled individuals to deliver extraordinary projects.
