Historic Ƶ construction contractor Balfour Beatty has opened a new office at Plymouth Science Park.
The team joining the business hub is part of the company’s regional civil engineering arm, which is expanding its local presence in the city.
Balfour Beatty's Plymouth base will be focused on employing local people to deliver infrastructure for both public and private sector clients across the South West - from highways and bridges to flood defence schemes and coastal infrastructure - according to the company.
Cliff Francis, project lead at Balfour Beatty, said “We’re proud to have delivered a number of successful infrastructure projects in and around Plymouth, and our move to Plymouth Science Park marks an exciting new chapter for our regional team.
"The Park’s STEM-focused community and collaborative culture felt like a natural fit for our people, and we’ve already experienced a warm welcome from the team here.”
Dave Hockton, chief executive of Plymouth Science Park, said “We’re thrilled to welcome Balfour Beatty to the Park.
"As a business delivering critical infrastructure that supports the region’s growth and resilience, their presence adds even greater depth to our community of companies working across engineering, technology and the built environment.
!We look forward to supporting their continued success in the South West.”
Founded in 1909, Balfour Beatty delivers projects across sectors including transport, energy, defence and social infrastructure.
