The VGC Group – Big Rail Diversity Challenge

The VGC Group provides people and delivers projects for the construction and rail industries. The market leader in our field, we have a workforce of over 1,400 people working on major infrastructure projects across the UK. VGC operates in all civil engineering environments including rail, road, utilities, nuclear and airports.

Our business is built on partnership and collaboration. As only the third company in the UK to be awarded the Ethical Labour Sourcing Standard, the VGC Group is proud of our commitment to equality, diversity, fairness, inclusion and respect.

By giving our people the training, support and opportunities to achieve their ambitions, we’re stronger as a business. All staff are supported in life-long career development, and encouraged to continue to study in their chosen fields. We offer internships, apprenticeships and training programmes for school-leavers up to and including graduate level, and employment mentoring for ex-military personnel.

Our focus on local employment ensures a diverse workforce that is representative of local populations and supports project communities.
Our commitment to a safe working environment shows how highly we value all our staff as well as the partners we work with. VGC’s health and safety culture is underpinned by our ground-breaking behavioural safety programme, Be Safe by Choice.

Doing the best possible quality work is part of our culture, described as ‘outperformance‘. This means performing over and above our competitors and exceeding our clients’ expectations.
