Our working culture

We have a strong purpose and agreed values which all our staff support.

Since the first professional engineers in the early 1800s, our profession has been essential to the shaping of the built environment which will be inherited by future generations. At Robert Bird Group today we recognise our important role in providing buildings and infrastructure for society, contributing our unique skills to all aspects of our projects and their life cycle.

Shaping better lives, better communities, and a better world

We believe engineers have a key role in shaping the future world – from the quality of the lives we live, to the shape of our society, to the future of the planet itself. We are passionate about using our skills and abilities to create a better future for all people, by applying engineering technology to challenges where we can make a real difference.
