Engineering and design consultancy for infrastructure, cities, and building systems
Buro Happold is an engineering and design partnership operating across structural, MEP, facade, and advisory practices. The tech stack is heavily CAD/BIM-native (AutoCAD, Revit, Tekla, ETABS, SAP2000, Grasshopper) with emerging adoption of DynamoDB and BIM 360 — indicating a shift toward cloud-based collaboration and data-driven project delivery. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering (385 roles) with secondary pushes in security and data, while projects span high-complexity infrastructure (power stations, stadiums, net-zero campuses) and climate-resilience planning.
