VolkerFitzpatrick is a UK-based, multi-disciplinary engineering and construction contractor with roots dating back to 1921. Now part of the VolkerWessels UK group, the company operates nationally from a head office in Hoddesdon and regional offices including London, Birmingham, Glasgow and Warrington. It turns over more than £600 million per year and employs around 1,000 people. VolkerFitzpatrick delivers specialist civil engineering, building and rail infrastructure projects across sectors such as commercial and industrial property, education, highways, aviation, defence, energy and regeneration, supported by in‑house capabilities in land remediation, highway construction, rail depots and infrastructure, and ready‑mixed concrete production certified to BS EN 206 and BS 8500.
The business is structured around sector-focused divisions including aviation, building, defence, energy, highways, rail and regeneration, which frequently combine on integrated, multi‑disciplinary programmes. Its portfolio ranges from complex office and logistics developments, such as Foundation Park and Rockingham Gateway, to major transport and regeneration schemes including M3 Junction 9, Ash Road Bridge, Crawley Eastern Gateway and new or upgraded rail stations like Brent Cross West and University Station. In the energy transition, VolkerFitzpatrick connects new offshore wind farms to the UK grid and delivers National Grid upgrades, as well as new nuclear and hydrogen/carbon capture infrastructure. It is a key delivery partner on large defence and infrastructure frameworks, undertaking airfield and campus works at RAF Lakenheath, Lossiemouth and Coningsby, and contributing to HS2’s Chiltern tunnel and Colne Valley Viaduct through the Align joint venture.
Sustainability is guided by VolkerWessels UK’s People‑Planet‑Purpose framework. The company delivers BREEAM‑rated facilities, including its solar‑equipped, BREEAM ‘Excellent’ Hoddesdon head office, implements carbon reduction and waste minimisation measures, and embeds social value through community projects and long‑term partnerships such as its patronage of the CRASH construction industry charity.
