Infrastructure design and engineering for aviation, defence, nuclear, and rail
BakerHicks is a 1,300-person design and engineering firm spanning 17 UK and European offices, built on a heavy Autodesk/Bentley CAD stack (Civil 3D, Revit, BIM 360, Navisworks, MicroStation) deployed across infrastructure sectors. Engineering hiring is accelerating sharply—94 of 158 active roles posted in the last 30 days, predominantly senior and mid-level—while the company prioritizes BIM adoption and scaling, suggesting a shift toward digital-first delivery on large regulated projects (aviation, defence, nuclear, power, rail).
