Engineering is an important part of Bryden Wood, and the wider UK Economy.An Engineering UK survey found that no less than 27% of enterprises in the UK are engineering-related, with the sector growing in size by 5.6%, from 2015 to 2016.

The industry already generates 23% of the UK’s total turnover and employs 5.6 million people, but more are needed.In fact, there’s an annual shortfall of around 59,000 graduates and technicians against available roles.This shortfall is acutely felt in construction because trained engineers are often lured away into the tech industry where their ability to think around a problem, and solve technical challenges is highly prized.. Engineering within Bryden Wood.

At Bryden Wood, engineers are key members of integrated teams and work closely with architects, computational designers, data analysts and mathematical modellers.It’s a powerful combination of skill sets that finds innovative solutions to design challenges.
