Laing O\u2019Rourke<\/span><\/a> has revealed plans to cut 200 jobs as it seeks to restructure its operations.<\/p>\nIt is thought the majority of jobs lost will be back office roles, and the firm said it will likely close some of its regional offices.<\/p>\n
In a statement the firm said: \u201cLaing O\u2019Rourke today announced it is consulting with UK-based employees on a proposal to establish a more competitive business structure across its UK operation, ensuring its project delivery teams are supported by a leaner and more operationally-focused functional overhead.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is likely that the proposals will result in a reduction in the number of employee roles in its support functions and a streamlining of its regional office networks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company may therefore have to make circa 200 redundancies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe proposal will allow the organisation to increase its focus on winning and delivering the \u00a39.2 billion of major projects and strategic frameworks currently on its order book.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be no impact on client service levels as we continue to deliver world-class projects on their behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n
The decision comes of the back of the firm\u2019s plans to sell it operations in Australia.<\/p>\n
