Balfour Beatty has featured in Construction News, exploring how internal mobility can be used as a strategic tool in overcoming workforce challenges to drive the UK’s energy transition forward.

In the article Stephen Tomkins, Project Director at Hinkley Point C highlights the importance of retaining and developing existing expertise through internal mobility and continuous learning. He emphasises that enabling professionals to move between projects with clear visibility of the pipeline allows skills to evolve rather than be lost, creating a resilient and future-ready workforce.

Commenting on how a clear pipeline of upcoming projects supports internal mobility, Stephen says: “We have a robust pipeline of projects spanning nuclear, offshore wind and critical grid infrastructure. When one project nears completion, another is already underway, creating a natural pathway for talent to move seamlessly between roles.” Read the full article on internal mobility here: The energy transition needs talent – and we need to keep it moving | Construction News
