Louisa Finlay joined Kier in 1988 as site engineer
Kier’s chief people officer Louisa Finlay is to take on a newly created role of chief operating officer at the group.
Finlay, who has spent over 35 years at Kier since joining as a trainee engineer, took on her current position three years ago.
She said: “I am thrilled to share that I am taking on a newly created role on our executive committee, chief operating officer at Kier Group.”
She added: “With responsibility for operational excellence, health, safety and wellbeing, sustainability, our corporate real estate and digital, data and IT, I’m looking forward heading up our drive to become a naturally digital business and to bringing together my time on site with the functional roles to drive forwards our ways of working.”
In a post on LinkedIn, Finlay said she would carry on her current duties “for a while longer, and then will be passing the baton over”.
Finlay replaced Helen Redfern as chief people officer in March 2023, having been Kier’s client and markets managing director.
Prior to this, she was boss of Kier’s Southern construction business. She joined the business in 1988 as a site engineer.
