About Us
Egis is a global consulting and engineering firm working in construction, transport and mobility services. Joining our Group and its 16,000 employees means, above all, sharing our values as a people-first company, strongly committed to sustainability and innovation.
As one of the world’s leading consultancy, construction engineering and operating firms, we hold ourselves responsible for today’s biggest challenges; fighting climate change, the digital transition and meeting the needs of growing populations. We do this by designing smart, green infrastructure, transport and buildings, creating a sustainable future for communities everywhere.
In the UK we're proud to be delivering some of the most iconic projects which help connect people, protect our environment and meet emission reduction targets. From motorways to tramways, nuclear power plants to smart cities, clients choose us to help them solve their most complex challenges - delivering climate-responsible growth that meets the needs of communities, industry, and the planet.
We now have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced HR professional to join the team for 18 months.
This is a great opportunity to transform our people agenda in the UK – creating a harmonized, streamlined set of HR t&c’s, policies and practices, negotiating and leading complex TUPE and M&A due diligence processes. Working closely with our close knit HR team based in London just a few minutes walk from London Waterloo station we work on a flexible basis, focusing on deliverables rather than presenteeism – although we regularly meet to collaborate on shared projects and goals.
We are currently made up of 14 employing entities with at least 4 new companies joining through M&A and more to follow. The organization is complex and challenging but brings significant opportunities to demonstrate your gravitas and impact. This is the perfect stepping stone to a senior HR Director role.
This role is the perfect stepping stone for an experienced HR professional looking for their next challenge. You must have CIPD Level 7 because your credibility as a senior practitioner will be essential. You will have exceptional presentation and influencing skills – persuasive and articulate. A whizz with the full suite of Microsoft office skills, you must be able to handle and present complex material and data in a creative and meaningful manner.
Experience with M&A and TUPE is essential and ORACLE HR systems a plus. You must be a highly organized generalist HR guru! You must have demonstrable expertise in change management principles and be able to provide examples at interview of successful change management programmes that you have contributed to.
