At Bridgeway, our strength comes from our people. From engineers to apprentices, night and site teams to office staff, every person here plays a part in delivering high-quality, innovative services across the UK. Our diverse skills and experience make us a trusted, single point of contact for our clients – no matter the project.

With a Network Rail Principal Contractor Licence and 24/7 delivery capabilities, we take pride in being a reliable partner who delivers on time, on budget, and with care. Whether it’s a major infrastructure project or a bespoke engineering challenge, we bring the same professionalism, flexibility and attention to detail – always backed by a strong commitment to safety, wellbeing and leaving a positive legacy in the communities we work in.

At Bridgeway, people come first – always. We’re proud of the inclusive, supportive culture we’re building, where everyone feels valued, heard, and able to thrive, whether they’re based in our head office or out on site.

Wellbeing isn’t a policy; it’s part of how we work. Through our wellbeing champions, open conversations about mental health and neurodiversity, and meaningful support, we’re creating a workplace where people can be themselves and do their best work.

We talk openly, celebrate wins, share challenges, and always aim to do the right thing. We keep things simple and practical – preferring action over jargon and focusing on continuous improvement.

Bridgeway is built on connection, clarity and care. We work hard, we support one another, and we know that people don’t just want a job – they want a purpose.

We understand that talent is everywhere – but opportunity is not. We pride ourselves on offering opportunities.

Our team is what makes Bridgeway, Bridgeway. Their dedication, knowledge and collaboration are the reason clients trust us time and again. We believe the best ideas come from different perspectives. Our diverse team brings a wide range of skills, experiences, and ways of thinking – and that’s a real strength. We’re proud to create an environment where individuality is respected, and new ideas are welcomed.

Great things happen when we work together. Whether it’s across departments, sites or with our clients, collaboration is at the heart of how we work. We build relationships on trust, respect, and a shared goal: Exceeding Expectations Everywhere, Safely, Socially & Sustainably.

We never stand still. From apprenticeships to leadership development, we invest in our people’s growth. As the Engineering and Rail sectors evolve, we make sure our team has the training, support, and opportunities to stay ahead.

We do what we say we’ll do – and we do it with honesty, fairness, and professionalism.

Integrity is non-negotiable here. It’s how we build long-term trust and accountability with our clients, our partners, and each other.

Bridgeway began over a pint in Nottingham in 1995, when three members of the British Rail underwater inspection unit – Pino De Rosa, Brian Maddison and Andy Jones – decided to strike out on their own.

From garages and kitchen tables, we grew through hard work, adaptability and a focus on quality. By 1999, we’d moved into our first permanent office in Beeston. The 2000s saw rapid growth – more services, new offices, and new equipment, including our first drilling rig in 2008.

We invested in training, introduced apprenticeships, and adopted new technologies like Laser Scanning. We were proud to play a part in landmark projects such as Crossrail (now the Elizabeth Line) and Thameslink.

In 2014, we refurbished our Riverside Way building, installing solar panels and energy-saving lighting. This, alongside wider efforts to cut our environmental impact, earned us the Queen’s Award for Sustainable Development in 2017.

More recently, we launched our podcast in 2021 and proudly achieved Armed Forces Employer Recognition Gold Status in 2022.

Today, we employ over 500 people across the UK, and we remain true to our roots: a people-focused, safety-led company with a passion for doing the right thing and delivering high-quality work that makes a difference.
