LIFE AT LAGAN AVIATION & INFRASTRUCTURE
Tye Biddle
Senior Airfield Construction Manager
"Working for Lagan has given me the opportunity to travel the world.”
I began my career with Lagan Holdings in 1996, starting out on the high-profile Hong Kong Chep LOL Kok Airfield project as a Paver/Screwman operator. Since Hong Kong I have worked for Lagan continuously for the past 28 years, leading me to work across 27 different countries and contribute to 46 different runway and road projects.
Throughout my career, I've ascended through various roles, culminating in my current position as a Senior Airfield Construction Manager. Working for Lagan has provided me with the opportunity to travel the world, meet people from diverse cultures, and tackle unique challenges. This exposure has not only expanded my construction expertise but also honed my skills in people management. A notable change in the construction landscape since my early days is the emphasis on Health and Safety, a crucial aspect that I've adeptly integrated into my role.
I am proud to have achieved all the goals I set for myself in my professional career during my time with Lagan.

“My career in the business has progressed from Intern to Graduate to my current role of HSE & Sustainability Manager"
I graduated from the National University of Singapore and was a teacher for four years before I moved to Belfast to complete a Postgraduate Degree in Sustainable Development at Queen’s University Belfast.
I joined the HSEQ department as an Intern focussing on the implementation of a sustainable transport strategy across the business. I then worked on our Dublin Airport project for one and a half years as an environmental graduate.
In my current role I work closely with the tender and project teams across the business providing support to ensure compliance to all health, safety and environmental; legislation, best practices and company standards. My goal is to drive sustainability throughout the company by encouraging the protection of the environment while caring for colleagues and the communities we work with.
James Crawford
Group Business Development Manager
“This is a family company in every aspect of how we conduct our business. I joined twelve years ago as part of a site team in a quality role and I now report to the Board"
I’m responsible for the work winning across the group and ensuring the company continues to source and win new projects in all markets within which we operate. I’m usually working on projects 18-24 months before they’re due on site!
Everyone has a voice and are encouraged to actively participate in the business. There isn’t multiple layers of bureaucracy and there’s plenty of access to the owners of the business.
I received incredible support to complete a part-time Masters in Civil Engineering, now moving onto my PhD. No one will stop you from developing to the best of your ability.
We have a culture that fosters a sense of community and belonging. Our mission goes beyond delivering projects; it's about building lasting relationships with our employees. Join us on this journey, where your contributions are not just recognized, but celebrated, in an environment that truly values you as an integral part of our family.
