J Murphy & Sons Limited

A leading specialist engineering and construction company, Murphy operates in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada. Employing 3,600 people, we provide better engineered solutions to infrastructure sectors including Transportation, Water, Power, Natural Resources, and Construction & Property.

At Murphy we believe our people are our greatest asset. This is why they are at the heart of our company and everything we do as part of our purpose to, ‘Improve life by delivering world class infrastructure’.

We have an inclusive culture built on a foundation of family values, where we believe every single employee has an impact on the company. Through our One Family, One Team, One Murphy approach, we aim to provide employees the opportunity to grow and develop, demonstrating our combined skills and capabilities to our customers.

We recruit and retain our own people for projects, allowing our customers to receive the unrivalled service from Murphy employees who understand and live our values daily. This approach to self-delivery is at the heart of what we believe makes us different.

We recognise how effective multigenerational teams are in terms of learning and employee motivation – for example recent young recruits hired via the Kickstart Scheme have been buddied up with older, experienced workers. This multigenerational approach has proved to be mutually beneficial, with older workers’ introduced to new thinking and young people shown training and expertise they may need later in their career.

In addition, we offer a comprehensive range of benefits designed to recognise that each individual has different requirements. These benefits include two paid days each year to volunteer, a number of family support policies including a carers policy and menopause support, as well as long service loyalty awards and an extra week’s holiday when getting married.
