Are you a hands-on learning and development professional with the energy, curiosity, and creativity to make a real difference? Do you want to work in a team that's evolving, dynamic, and committed to doing things differently?
At Laing O'Rourke, we're on an exciting journey to transform how we grow our people. As a Talent & Leadership Partner, you'll play a central role in evolving our learning and development offering - building on strong foundations to create future-ready, high-impact programmes that accelerate growth, leadership, and performance.
The Role
* Location: Dartford HQ (with national travel to offices and project sites)
* Design, deliver, and manage end-to-end talent and leadership programmes that empower our people to grow, lead, and thrive.
* This role is perfect for someone who wants to make learning meaningful and future-focused - not just deliver what's always been done.
Responsibilities
* Design and deliver engaging, forward-thinking learning and leadership programmes.
* End-to-end programme management of current talent and manager development programmes supporting career growth, leadership, and skills enhancement.
* Collaborate with stakeholders to co-create tailored solutions aligned with business strategy and individual aspirations.
* Champion innovation by introducing new ideas, tools, and technology into our learning strategy.
* Use data and feedback to measure impact, improve, and demonstrate the value of learning.
About You
* A natural collaborator with strong stakeholder and relationship-building skills.
* A structured, hands-on programme manager with a keen eye for detail and delivery.
* An engaging facilitator, confident in leading sessions and energising groups.
* Curious, confident, and resilient — someone who asks questions, speaks up, and thrives in a changing environment.
* A genuine passion for people, learning, and performance.
Skills & Experience
We value skills and capability above all, but you'll ideally have:
* 3–5 years in a learning, talent, or leadership development role.
* Experience in programme design and delivery aligned to performance and business outcomes.
* Familiarity with digital tools such as Microsoft Suite, Power BI, and psychometrics.
* Strong analytical, organisational, and stakeholder engagement skills.
* Industry insight into construction or similar large-scale, project-based environments is a plus.
* CIPD or equivalent professional L&D or HR accreditation.
