About Us 

Burns & McDonnell is a global engineering, design and construction firm working from more than 75 offices worldwide. Since 2017, we have been growing our presence in the U.K., with offices in Birmingham, London, and Glasgow. Drawing from global experience of more than 125 years delivering critical infrastructure projects, our U.K. team focuses on technical consultancy, engineering and project delivery, supporting the nation’s transition to a low-carbon future. By placing client service at the centre of everything we do, we develop innovative, integrated solutions to meet complex infrastructure challenges.

Each professional brings an ownership mentality to projects at our 100% employee-owned firm, which has safety performance among the top 5% of AEC firms. As dedicated owners, we work through challenges until they’re resolved, meeting or exceeding our clients’ goals. We apply this commitment to our communities, too.

We live and work in the same cities you call home, so we share a passion to keep them strong and healthy. From fundraising events and community cleanups to educational outreach and mentorship - especially when it comes to sharing our passion for STEM - our professionals work to make our communities thrive.


What we do 

As engineering, architecture and construction professionals, we consult and collaborate with clients. We design and construct for resiliency. We manage and maintain for longevity. We seek to preserve and advance the communities we serve, live in and care for.

Industries We Serve
