Profile
Costain Group is one of the UK’s leading engineering solutions providers, working at improving people’s lives by focussing on the issues you care about.
Costain was established in 1865 by Richard Costain in Liverpool. Floated as a public company in 1933, Costain was involved in the coal mining, construction, property and housing sectors, with an overseas presence in 50 countries by the 1980s.
The company changed direction in the next decade, divesting the mining and housing businesses to concentrate on the core construction business. This period also marked the end of the Costain family’s direct involvement in the company.
More recently, Choosing Costain' is the company's strategy and provides a blueprint for the next stage of development in line with the significant changes which are taking place in the industry over the next decade.The strategy will enable Costain to deliver increasingly a full-service offering, from front-end engineering consultancy and design, through construction to back-end care and maintenance.
As well as a variety of UK based projects Costain also has presence further afield on an international basis.
The company headquarters are located at Maidenhead, with regional offices in London, Leeds, Cardiff and Manchester.
