‘The UK’s premier business awards for women’

Balfour Beatty

Building new futures for people and communities

Balfour Beatty is a leading international infrastructure group. We finance, develop, build, maintain and operate the increasingly complex and critical infrastructure that supports national economies and sits at the heart of local communities.

Waterside Bridge, Nottingham

Across the UK, our people help deliver the infrastructure that keeps communities connected, protects homes and businesses, supports essential services and enables places to grow. From transport and energy to water, defence and social infrastructure, our work is ultimately about creating better outcomes for people and the places in which they live and work.

Delivering infrastructure on this scale takes a wide range of skills, experiences and perspectives. We want everyone to have the opportunity to build a rewarding career, develop their skills and fulfil their potential.

As part of that, we are taking action to improve gender balance and support more women to progress within our business and the wider industry. Our ambition is to increase the number of female colleagues in our UK business by 50% by 2030, compared with a 2021 baseline.

Initiatives such as our Empower programme support women’s career development, with a focus on confidence, communication, career positioning and progression. Our Gender & Allies Network also gives colleagues opportunities to connect, share experiences and better understand the career pathways available across Balfour Beatty.

We are proud to sponsor the 2026 Enterprise Vision Awards Not For Profit Award, celebrating the organisations and individuals responding to local challenges and creating positive, lasting impact.
