Jobs and Careers Spring 2020 - 251
At Balfour Beatty we construct and maintain critical infrastructure
at the backbone of both the economy and people's daily lives.
Throughout this unique and challenging year, we remain focused
on ensuring we can continue to support both the UK economy and
local communities, now and when normal conditions return. Our
people, who are deemed essential workers by the UK Government,
are vital to keeping the country moving and to the future of the
construction industry.
Here, we shine a spotlight on two of our employees who
demonstrate that even when faced with uncertainty, diversity,
inclusion and gender equality is as important as ever.
WHY IS GENDER EQUALITY SO
IMPORTANT TO US?
At Balfour Beatty, we're leaders not followers. Attracting more
female talent into construction makes the whole industry stronger,
which is why we're taking big steps to give more women the
opportunity to do important work, build meaningful careers and
make an impact in our team.
HOW ARE WE PLAYING OUR PART?
We're committed to championing and supporting gender equality
throughout our business. We're working hard to ensure that our
industry appeals to the best and brightest by attracting, recruiting
and retaining talented women across all our roles.
To help with this, we've launched some fantastic initiatives, including
our Gender Equality Network, which brings colleagues together to
connect, share experiences and give each other advice on navigating
their career in the construction industry. In 2016, we also introduced
the "Empower" training programme to support female career
development. Since then it's had a positive impact on the careers
of over 200 women by giving them access to vital learning and
networking opportunities.
WHO'S LEADING THE WAY AT
BALFOUR BEATTY?
We've got an impressive community of inspiring women in our
team. Every single one of whom is a great role model for future
generations, but we'd like to introduce you to two women in
particular, 'Olu and Jwerea. Their journeys really show there are
no limits to what women can achieve at Balfour Beatty.
HOW IS 'OLU' DOING HER GENDER,
HER FAMILY AND HERSELF PROUD?
'Olu is Commercial Director in Connect Plus Services, the arm of
Balfour Beatty which operates and maintains the M25 on behalf
of Highways England. Her journey started with us 12 years ago.
Growing up in a family of engineers, builders, quantity surveyors and
town planners meant nothing was going to stop her from pursuing a
career in the construction industry.
"Balfour Beatty gave me the opportunity to spread my wings and the
experience I needed to become a Chartered Quantity Surveyor."
She's a real champion of diversity and believes that the most dynamic
teams are the diverse ones. This means she feels right at home at
Balfour Beatty. And although her team is balanced in terms of gender,
she recognises there's still work to be done across the industry.
"When I'm facing challenges or need advice, I've really relied on my
mentors and I've drawn time and time again on the priceless advice
they have given me."
Throughout her time with us, 'Olu has always had committed mentors
who've helped her shape an impressive career. She's keen to repay
the favour and is working hard to continue to drive positive changes
across both the sector and society in general. So, 'Olu is always
on hand to provide advice and support to the seven people she's
currently mentoring.
HOW IS JWEREA BREAKING
DOWN BARRIERS?
Jwerea's journey has seen her rise from Graduate Engineer to
Operations Manager in Balfour Beatty's UK Construction Services
(UKCS) business. Since the start of her career, she has seen first-hand
how a positive shift in attitudes towards diversity has moved the
industry forward; encouraging more women to grow and develop
within the industry.
Today, she is helping to keep our key infrastructure projects running
across the North and Midlands by implementing new health and
safety requirements and helping her team adapt to new ways of
working.
"A lot has improved over the past 10 years, now there is greater
presence of women on-site and it's beginning to be considered
a norm."
"My approach has been just to excel at my job, and to normalise
it to make things easier for other women coming behind me."
As a successful and respected member of the UKCS team,
Jwerea has accomplished a lot in her career, but she's not
stopping there. As co-chair of our Gender Equality Network, she's
incredibly passionate about using her influence to make sure that
the hard work and talent of young women in the industry continues
to be recognised and rewarded.
Jwerea feels that you should try not take stereotyping behaviour
personally or let it knock your confidence. Try to understand that if
someone can't appreciate your talents and skills, it's their problem
not yours. It's not you that needs to change.
