John Sisk & Son has a proud record of leadership in the construction industry. For 160 years our name has been synonymous with excellence and high quality work.
Inside Sisk is a brand-new podcast series where we meet the people behind our projects.
These people have many skills but one goal: to create exceptional places that leave a lasting legacy. We will hear what drives them, what fulfils them, what it means to be a part of the Sisk family. Their own stories, in their own words.

As part of our commitment to the mental health & wellbeing of our staff and honouring the Sisk values of Care, Integrity and Excellence we launched our pioneering mental health programme ‘I Am Here’ in 2019.
Over the last number of years Sisk have been working hard to move beyond mental health awareness. It is well recognised that one of the biggest challenges facing the construction sector in the modern era is mental health.
Compassionate connection and conversation are at the heart of ‘I Am Here’. The courage, confidence and skills to have these conversations are achieved through a continual learning and support programme, empowering people to signpost existing help and support services to those in need.
John Sisk & Son realises the importance of work-life balance. As a family business Sisk want to create a work environment in which all staff can achieve this.
We give staff the opportunity to participate in a range of sports and social events throughout the year, including, Run a Muck, Grant Thornton 5K run, Three Peaks Challenge and Dragon at the Docks.
The highlight of the event calendar for many is the Sisk staff family BBQ held in June each year. This gives staff the opportunity to come along with their families to a BBQ with fun and games for both children and adults alike.
The purpose of this employee-driven network is to provide another platform in the business for our people to grow their networks across different business areas and functions, build new skills, and champion our agenda on gender equality.
Our goal is to create an environment where inclusion is part of the fabric of our business. We recognise that our proposed actions on levelling the playing field will only succeed with the right culture along with support from our senior leadership, the commitment of our Diversity and Inclusion action team and clearly defined targets.
