A flexible approach
At Kier we believe that – wherever we can, whether office or site-based – we should embrace an agile/flexible approach to working. We are proud to offer our employees the opportunity, where we can, to do this.
Core Benefits
Annual Leave
Holiday entitlement for full-time employees is 26 days plus public holiday and increases with length of service. Entitlement is pro-rated for part-time employees and those joining part way through the holiday year (1 December to 30 November).
Pension
You will be auto-enrolled in the Kier Retirement Savings Plan (KRSP), our defined contribution pension plan. You must contribute at least 4% of your salary and Kier will pay matching contributions on a 1:1 basis up to a maximum of 7.5% of your salary.

Membership of the KRSP pension scheme also provides lump sum life cover of four times your basic salary. If you don’t participate in the KRSP, life cover will be one times your basic salary.

Kier will reimburse one professional membership fee per annum to help support your professional development.
