People & Culture

In everything we do, we act with integrity, treat people fairly, and do what we say we will.

Building a people-first culture in construction and engineering

At Sir Robert McAlpine, we are a family construction and engineering business —and for us, it’s always personal. 

Our people-first ethos runs through everything we do. We rely on each other, support one another, and function best when we’re open, honest and willing to listen. This culture of care and integrity is the foundation of our success and the reason we’ve built a stable, resilient business with a proud construction heritage. 
 
On every project, we treat our clients, supply chain partners and the communities we serve as part of our extended family. We act with fairness, deliver on our promises, and take pride in doing the right thing—always. 

This approach fosters long-term relationships, strengthens collaboration, and ensures we continue to attract and retain the best talent in UK construction. It’s how we build trust, deliver excellence, and create an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.
