Carillion expects to create over 1,000 jobs in the next two years as a result of its £554m takeover of Alfred McAlpine.


The positions are likely to arise as a result of rapid growth in the Gulf where Carillion expects to increase its turnover from £274m in 2006 to £600m by 2009.

Vacancies will also arise in the UK, where the company expects to grow its FM and PFI divisions.

A spokesperson said: “We are desperate to keep and recruit good people – this is our priority.”

Postscript

Last week we incorrectly stated that Richard Adam was finance director of Alfred McAlpine. He is in fact the group finance director for Carillion and is not leaving the business. We would like to apologise for our error.
