People
Trusted by our clients, respected in the industry, and recognised for our impact. We won the 2009 and 2011 IStructE’s Supreme Award for Structural Engineering and were named Engineering Consultant of the Year at the 2012 Building Awards.
Our senior team are renowned industry experts who perform crucial roles on professional bodies and design panels to help influence policy and unlock better outcomes.
We create teams of collaborative, multidisciplinary creative thinkers that can respond to the challenges of any project – and the planet’s needs.
Working at Expedition
At Expedition, we value everyone’s contribution. Our positive mentoring and coaching programme encourages all our engineers to be curious and creative in how they learn and develop their skills. We are committed to transparency and measuring and reporting our journey towards a more equal, diverse, and inclusive practice.
Working Practices
By thinking collectively, we learn from insights and innovations within our teams. We also draw on the depth of knowledge and experience of the Trust. We value collaboration highly, which means we experiment and evolve new ways of working together – within the Trust, and externally with clients and partners.
The advent of hybrid working has brought new challenges and opportunities, but the oversight of every person and every project remains a critical part of our processes.
Creative and Social
We like to celebrate success, so it’s never hard to find a reason to come together for a drink or a meal. We also like to get together creatively, and regularly join forces on our Useful Giving projects. Sometimes we share ideas on design retreats in the woods, and twice a year all our Trustees and benefactors meet up to remember and reflect on why we do what we do.
Our team also enjoys breakfast yoga, all-weather touch rugby, walks along the River Thames, lunchtime table tennis, family picnics, charity races – in fact, anything positive and low impact that makes us feel good about the day.
Learning & Development
As part of our Trust ethos, we believe strongly in coaching and developing every person at the Trust. For our young graduates this starts with working towards ICE Chartership, but everyone gets involved in our weekly lunchtime programme of talks and design reviews so we never miss a chance to learn from each other.
More formal learning is driven by our Future Skills Programme, which is set to achieve Carbon Literacy Platinum level.
Knowledge Sharing
We are committed to sharing our knowledge across the construction industry, including through our well-publicised initiatives, such as the Get it Right Initiative. This is an industry analysis and report, leading to training programmes eliminating errors in construction.
Our engineers sit on key industry panels and speak regularly at webinars and events across the UK; we are a small company, but you can see how far our influence reaches when you Meet the Team.
Many of us also teach Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes around the UK, and we’re proud to have pioneered the not-for-profit Constructionarium. This is a real-life learning programme that has taught over 13000 engineering undergraduates since it began in 2004.
In 2021 we ran an 8-week design programme for Schools 21 with a group of sixth form students to promote widening participation in design and engineering. As is often the case with EDI, we learnt as much from the students as they did from us.
Personal reflection
"I was elected by my colleagues to serve 3 years as a Trustee when I was 26 – an opportunity I can’t imagine getting anywhere else! I learnt so much about how the Trust is run, how being employee-owned affects how we do things and how the employees are kept central to all business decisions. The experience made me a better communicator and, therefore, a better engineer."
