Oliver Blackett-Ord

It’s been said that engineering is a discipline that blends science and art, and it’s a view that Oliver subscribes to. The balance between challenging problem-solving and creativity is what drew him to the profession. But that is only part of the equation for Oliver. The purpose of the result is important to him. He wants to contribute towards positive social and environmental impacts on the projects he works on. Get all that right and you have the best solution possible.

Oliver takes a holistic view to his projects, and designs to help find the optimal and most sustainable solution – whether that’s using sophisticated software or through the innovative use of materials. He’s a good communicator who knows how to get his ideas across with clarity. It’s a quality that also brings an appreciation of the work, methods, and aims of the rest of the project team. Outside of work, Oliver is a keen cook and traveller, with a thirst for the new and interesting. He is also learning to code with Python and develop websites.
