Haley smiles, ‘The glass fronts of the studios are like vignettes into other people’s worlds.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.

And as you might expect from a leader in tech-led design and construction, the workflows are 100% digital.That’s why we particularly value young people who have grown up with technology, and games such as Minecraft.
