Compound Semiconductor Applications (CSA) Catapult has been recognised as one of the UK’s best places to work in construction, engineering and property for the second year running.  

The 2025 UK’s Best Workplaces in Construction, Engineering & Property™, compiled by Great Place To Work® UK, recognised CSA Catapult among the list of organisations in the small and medium sized business category. 

The Catapult was also recognised for the second year running as one of the UK’s best places to work in the Charity & Not-for-profit industry. 

The recognition underlines CSA Catapult’s commitment to providing an inspiring, fulfilling and secure working environment that provides job satisfaction and a positive experience.

CSA Catapult has created an open, friendly and inclusive culture, which is founded on its values of collaboration, innovation and trust.   

It provides an environment where its team members can bring their whole self to work and develop in their role.   

This year’s survey responses found that in the construction, engineering and property category, 77 per cent of employees said “I am offered training or development to further myself professionally” compared to 52 per cent at a typical company in this sector. 

The Best Workplaces lists are created using anonymous surveys about employees’ work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction, psychological safety and financial security.  

They also assess how well the organisation delivers a consistent employee experience across all departments and seniority levels. 

“We’re delighted to be recognised in these categories again, which cements our continued commitment to making CSA Catapult a truly great place to work. 

“To attract and retain the very best employees, it’s imperative we create a workplace that is safe, supportive and inclusive and that stands out from the rest. 

“A huge thank you to everyone at CSA Catapult for their contribution in helping us receive this recognition.” 

 

Clare Gunning, Director of People and Resources at CSA Catapult

“In industries like construction, engineering, and property – where teams are often spread across multiple sites and geographies – maintaining a consistent, connected employee experience can be challenging.  

“The UK’s Best Workplaces in this sector rise to that challenge by fostering strong communication, inclusive leadership, and a shared culture that reaches every corner of the organisation. The data shows that no matter where their people work, colleagues feel seen, supported, and part of something bigger. Congratulations CSA Catapult on creating a truly great workplace and earning recognition as UK’s Best Workplaces in Construction, Engineering & Property.”  

Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK
