Building leaders while breaking barriers. Congratulations to the first cohort of our Accelerate Your Potential programme – a year-long leadership initiative designed to equip women across our organisation with the skills, confidence, and opportunities to thrive in leadership roles. Through a blend of tailored workshops, mentorship, and real-world project experience, the programme builds authentic leadership skills for women in STEM, fostering open dialogue and creating clear career pathways. #design #engineering #projectdelivery #womeninleadership #STEM

As we wrap up the year, we want to thank our colleagues, clients, partners, and supply chain for your continued support. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.   Our offices will now be closed while our teams enjoy a well-deserved break, with mainland Europe reopening Friday 2nd January and the UK on Monday 5th January.   See you in 2026! #christmas2025 #merrychristmas #happynewyear #thankyou #design #engineering #projectdelivery

What does successful leadership in design, engineering and project delivery look like? Beyond technical expertise, it’s about fostering trust, effective collaboration, and the ability to communicate and lead with confidence. Earlier this month, 20 colleagues from across BakerHicks joined the first session of our 2025 Leader Development Programme – focused on empowering staff into realising and developing non-technical leadership qualities including emotional intelligence, clear communication, and positive decision-making. The diverse perspectives of individuals from our UK, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium offices brought valuable cross-cultural insights and encouraged the sharing of best practices.

Preserving local green spaces in Manchester 🌱 Six members of our Manchester team recently offered their support to Friends of Fletcher Moss – a dedicated local voluntary group that helps maintain and protect the Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens in Didsbury. Staff from our Civil & Structural, Geospatial, and High Voltage teams took the day to apply their specialist expertise on: ♻️ Park maintenance ♻️ Landscape design ♻️ Site enhancement and accessibility improvements ♻️ Bridge construction ♻️ Responsible waste management Altogether, the day allowed our team to use their skills in sustainability in a more hands-on way, while providing a fantastic opportunity to help protect a much-loved green space. A huge thank you to Friends of Fletcher Moss for welcoming us and to all our team for rolling their sleeves up on the day! #design #engineering #projectdelivery #sustainability #civil #structural #power #volunteering #community 

Site opening news from Scotland ✂️📸 Work is now complete at the new SSEN Transmission strategic operations warehouse in Dundee – the second cutting-edge power facility we’ve helped deliver to strengthen Scotland’s high-voltage transmission network. Having been involved from inception to completion of both projects, we’re proud to have delivered multi-disciplinary design support across all RIBA stages. A huge congratulations to all involved in this impactful, sustainable project – which marks a major milestone in supporting Scotland’s transition to green energy. #design #engineering #projectdelivery #construction #power #highvoltage #hv #civilengineering #structuralengineering

We’re proud to be Platinum sponsors of the Nuclear Industry Association and Nuclear Institute 2025 Annual Dinner, taking place at the prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel in London this week. The UK’s premier nuclear industry event brings together leaders from across the sector, politics, and academia, with our Nuclear & Defence team ready to reconnect with peers and explore future opportunities.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the successful completion of the British Airways Fleet Support Unit (FSU) north and south hangar doors - a milestone that enhances both efficiency and safety. Working alongside our long-standing project partner Mace, our multi-disciplinary team delivered architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering expertise, working closely with the contractor to minimise disruption to the hangar that remained live throughout the project lifecycle. This achievement stands as a testament to outstanding collaboration, delivery and a steadfast commitment to safe construction. We’re looking forward to more transformative projects ahead.

It’s a win for Woodland View School! 🏆  Happy to see that the East Dunbartonshire Council facility has been awarded the Project of the Year – Inclusive Design award at the Learning Places Scotland Conference | Exhibition | Awards. We’re proud to have provided mechanical, electrical, and civil and structural support, as part of the design team on the new Glasgow school – creating an accessible and inclusive environment for pupils with Additional Special Needs (ASN). A special mention also goes to Maybole Community Campus, where we provided civil and structural support to the project, which was nominated for an impressive five awards on the night. Congratulations to everyone involved and to all the evening’s award winners!

Meet our 2025 graduates! 🎓👋 We recently welcomed our 2025 graduates to our latest induction day, designed to introduce key areas of the business and kickstart their journey at BakerHicks. We’re excited to support this talented group as they grow, innovate, and help shape the future of design, engineering and project delivery. #design #engineering #projectdelivery #graduates #grassroots #careers

“The thrill of engineering needs to be brought home to us all.” This sentiment was first shared by our co-founder Professor John F Baker and continues to guide our outreach efforts today, shaping how BakerHicks connects with schools and universities. Our goal is to inspire students to see design, engineering and project delivery as a means to drive real-world change. With our office network spread across the UK and mainland Europe, we’re proud to be able to reach such a wide range of campuses and classrooms. Some of our most recent interactions include: ✨ Hosting seminars at the DTU - Technical University of Denmark, where our team explored the application of project management theory in life science engineering, helping link academic concepts to real world examples. ✨ Collaborating with Edinburgh University Civil Engineering Society. As society sponsors, we discussed some of our latest projects – offering students a closer look at how engineering decisions unfold in practice. ✨ Engaging with life sciences students at Hochschule Albstadt-Sigmaringen – where many of our talented engineers are proud alumni, and where we’re supporting our first part-time master’s student through the German university’s Life Science Engineering programme. ✨ Attending Imperial College London’s Civil Engineering Careers Fair, helping to inform and inspire talented future engineers with an interest in the industry. #design #engineering #projectdelivery #projectmanagement #grassroots #earlycareers #engineer #careers #nextgeneration #lifesciences #civilengineering #stem #students #graduates
