Employer description
Taylor Woodrow’s success is founded on the teams that we build, the relationships we develop and the engineering solutions that we provide.

Our projects support the UK’s energy transition, deliver improvements to the highways network and enhance rail infrastructure. The strategic infrastructure that we construct are the building blocks for growth and this includes a role in delivering the UK’s low carbon transport future through High Speed 2. We operate across all stages of the project lifecycle, with our Engineering Services team supporting clients through the development and design phase of infrastructure projects to foster the right solutions. Sustainability is at the heart of our approach and we are committed to respecting and protecting the environment in everything that we do. Taking the time to understand and make a positive difference to each community that we work within is an integral part of our work to ensure that our projects leave a lasting legacy. Taylor Woodrow is committed to creating a working environment that is inclusive and diverse.
