Alan Baxter & Associates was founded in 1974 as a practice of consulting engineers. Over thirty years, our scope of work has evolved into a much broader range of activities, encompassing urban design, masterplanning, conservation, and civil and structural engineering. What hasn’t changed is the uniquely interactive culture of the practice and our philosophy of integrated design.

Structural and Civil Engineering

Our work explores the full range of materials from glass and steel to tensile structures. We work as part of a close knit team in the exploration and execution of the whole design and we have a close relationship with many well-known architects. Our innovative ideas have contributed to many competition successes.

Transport and Urban Design

Our masterplanning and strategic urban design work is a rich variety from urban extensions and brownfield redevelopments, through to the rethinking of whole cities and their growth strategies. The ABA ethos bridges the gap between blue-sky thinking and the practical grounding of sustainable urbanism and exemplary ‘placemaking’.

Conservation

The range of our work includes the preparation of conservation plans of historic buildings, and detailed design for work on prestigious monuments such as the Palace of Westminster, the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace.

Graduate Opportunities

We have an increasing workload in projects of major importance that will help to shape the way we live. Our holistic way of thinking about movement, urban design, conservation and the design of new and special civil structural engineering works allows us to create valuable ideas and to contribute to contemporary urban regeneration and sustainability issues.

Careers & Life at ABA

Alan Baxter & Associates provides a varied and challenging career, while supporting your professional and personal development. You will also have the opportunity to take part in a variety of  social activities from sporting events to cultural visits and lectures.

Interaction – both formal and informal – is vital to achieving ABA’s engineering aims. This interaction is encouraged throughout the practice, in the office layout, regular lunches together, seminars and lectures. We share our office building with 40 kindred organisations, events and exhibitions enable us to exchange ideas and experience with them.

These interactions – plus encouragement to travel through the award of travel grants – mean that everyone at ABA is involved in the development of the practice and its aims.
