What I appreciate most about McLaren is the dynamic nature of the work—no two days are ever the same.

Zak
IT Service Desk Analyst
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.

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.
Yonatan
Assistant Site Manager
Our colleagues come to work to build and see lasting evidence of their skills and hard work. We already take pride in over two decades of quality buildings and now work on many of the most prominent and prestigious projects in the UK. That’s the opportunity we offer: leave your mark and build a lasting career in the process.
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.
