With around 1,300+ professionals located globally, we draw upon a wide range of experience and expertise to provide high-quality, high-value products and services.
A Strong Heritage: Formed in 1985 from the merger of the UK’s British Ship Research Association and National Maritime Institute, our heritage includes the water tanks where the famous ‘bouncing bomb’ was developed during WWII. Our commitment to investing in people and high-quality research has enabled the modern BMT to continue the pioneering maritime spirit: from designing the world’s most advanced aircraft carrier to creating new measuring and monitoring systems for the offshore oil and gas industry.
We have played a key role in commercial shipping in landmark events, including the investigation into the 1987 sinking of the RoRo ferry, Herald of Free Enterprise. We have helped to test and improve the design of some of the world’s tallest buildings and fastest racing cars on land. We were also part of the European Space Agency development team.
Interesting Work: We want to be a trusted partner to our customers. The people they know they can rely on to help with their most complex and challenging problems. As we grow we want to take on bigger projects that have greater impact in the world, that really make a difference, giving our people the opportunity to grow too. Whether we’re – developing virtual reality for vessel crew training, monitoring the health of species using eDNA, flood modelling in the cloud, using computing power and algorithms to make ports more secure, or adopting Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to bring the lessons of nature to our aircraft carrier designs. We want to turn our customer’s complex projects into clear thinking and ground-breaking solutions. We recruit the best of the best to help us deliver.
