"During my degree, I undertook several summer placements at Walsh.
Upon graduating, I returned and quickly developed a strong foundation
in technical knowledge and appreciation of industry practice. As my
experience grew, I was able to make technical design decisions with an
awareness of how each decision influences the wider project in terms of
coordination with other disciplines, sustainability, H&S and commercial
impact. I’ve come a long way at Walsh and one of the best parts of the
job is to pass on what I have learnt by mentoring new graduates and
summer placements. I recently took a sabbatical to rest, recharge and see
the world but now I’m back and ready to take on the next challenge!"
Christina AyrissSenior Engineer 
"At Walsh, you learn a lot about the importance of buildability
and how to read and understand different types of structural
drawings. I wasn’t taught this at university, even though it is
an essential skill to learn. Even as a recent graduate, I feel
as if I’m given a lot of responsibility. I’m briefed, shown some
worked examples and the important building regulations to
follow. After that, I work independently, calling on support as I
need it and incorporate feedback from more senior engineers
into my designs. I feel as if this hands-on approach is the best
way to learn."
Max WatsonGraduate Engineer 
"I joined Walsh to do a Business Administrator (Level 3)
apprenticeship. Having already studied business at school, I
wanted to carry on learning and progress by balancing this with
on-the-job experience rather than going to college full-time. I
have one day per week to dedicate to my college work and can
do this as a full day or split into chunks, depending on the dayto-
day requirements of my work. I have learnt so much during
my time at Walsh and had the opportunity to take on senior
administration responsibilities. The people and social aspects
make Walsh a really great place to work."
Phoebe MiddlewoodAdministrator 
"I have been at Walsh for 18 years and progressed from graduate
structural engineer to board director in 2019. I have been involved
in high profile and complex projects including Olympic structures,
Coppermaker Square, one of London’s largest and prestigious PRS
schemes, and the Westfield London shopping centre extension which
created the largest shopping centre in Europe. We offer an enviable
balance between working on large projects like these with a friendly
and diverse environment more akin to a smaller consultancy. Our staff
retention history and the career progression of so many of our team
are clear evidence of this as we ambitiously push the company forward."
