One Costain
We work as one team to deliver the best outcomes for our customers, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.
Success is not down to any one individual; instead we work as ‘one Costain’, acting as a collective with different perspectives and experiences, making a difference to our customers and communities, and working to improve people’s lives now and for the future. Our purpose and values.
Military and service leavers
We work with the Careers Transition Partnership, Buildforce UK and the Officers Association to provide support and guidance to those interested in the construction and engineering sector.
Partnering with the Forces Families Jobs Forum and the Military Coworking Network we support the employment of Service spouses and partners and offer advice and support as well as coaching.
We provide additional support and leave for those who are reservists or volunteering to support cadet organisations. Reservists receive two weeks additional paid leave for training, and once every five years will be granted additional unpaid time off for specific duties.
