FLUOR LIMITED GENDER PAY GAP REPORT 2017
“Hiring the right people is critical to our success. In the UK, we are
working to create a balanced workforce and supporting government
and industry initiatives to develop the optimum talent pool both for
our company and country,” said Ashley Rees, Managing Director, Fluor
Limited. “We are confident that we have equal pay however we do have
a gender pay gap. There are two main reasons for this, fewer women
entering the engineering and construction industry and fewer women
in senior leadership positions.”
“It is our goal for all of our staff to achieve their full potential and
therefore all employment decisions are based solely on performance,
talent and behaviour,” Rees adds.
FLUOR GENDER PAY GAP REPORT 2017
Ashley Rees
Managing Director, Fluor Limited
From 2017, the UK Government has
mandated that any organisation with
250 or more employees must publish its
gender pay gap annually.
As a global leader in the engineering and
construction industry, Fluor is committed
to diversity and inclusion. Our people
are central to everything we do and we
are working hard to shape our future by
investing in and building upon our rich mix
of talents and capabilities. Such diversity
encourages innovation and creates a
dynamic workplace that can deliver results
for clients’ complex and challenging projects.

In executive positions, female representation has increased from 8% in 2011 to 12% in 2017. For leadership and managerial positions for the same period representation has increased by 73%.
04 FLUOR GENDER PAY GAP REPORT 2017
Fluor provides equal pay for work of equal value. We do have a gender pay gap when we compare the
average pay and bonuses for women and men. As with most organisations in our industry, this is because
of the unequal distribution of males and females across the company and not because of our pay policies
and practices. Although we are making progress, we still have fewer female senior positions.
As highlighted by the Office for National Statistics “the pay gap is useful in measuring pay equality due
to its simple calculation; however, it does not measure the pay difference between men and women at
the same pay grade, doing the same job, with the same working pattern. It also does not include any of
the personal characteristics that may determine a person’s pay.“
UNDERSTANDING THE FIGURES
Bonuses are paid to employees meeting certain eligibility criteria and exceeding specific performance
criteria. Our bonus pay gap reflects lower female representation across the organisation’s more
senior levels where bonus is a larger component of overall compensation. In terms of number of
females and males meeting the eligibility criteria receiving a bonus, the results reflect our equal pay
philosophy (30% vs 32%).

ATTRACTING MORE WOMEN TO JOIN FLUOR
“I have learnt a great deal in a short space of time and have felt supported by everyone throughout. This has meant that I have not been afraid to ask questions and continually monitor my professional development with my mentor.”
Maryam Fozouni, Electrical Engineer
Fluor continues to build for the future by
recruiting high calibre graduates, apprentices
and employees. There is work to do,
particularly in attracting more females into
engineering and construction, but we feel
our programmes are moving us in a positive
direction and are a platform for the future.
We are committed to diversity and equality
in areas of our business that are under our
control. We continue to strive to address the
gap, ensuring that policies, practices and

RETAINING AND DEVELOPING FLUOR WOMEN
“I currently work as the Business Manager on a major Fluor Limited project and I have also just been appointed as General Manager for Fluor South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. I will be based in Fluor’s Johannesburg office. The decision to appoint a female as a General Manager has sent a strong signal to the industry in the Africa Sub-Saharan region that in Fluor, leadership is about capability, not gender.”
Tolani Azeez, Business Manager
“I was extremely proud to be recognised in
2017 by the European Construction Institute’s
Young Professional of the Year award as I
believe this helps raise the profile of women
in engineering. One of the best things about
working for Fluor is that you feel valued and
are given the opportunity not only to gain
a lot of technical knowledge, but also to
develop management and leadership skills.”

career in engineering and I believe that
throughout my career I have been an
advocate for the work that I do, leading by
example, working corroboratively as part

approach engineering challenges. Becoming
a Chartered Engineer was an important
milestone in my career.”
Jenni Oakham, Mechanical Engineer
