Ollie Abbott

I grew up in Suffolk but spent 4 years at Exeter University and felt so at home here I decided to stay in the South West a bit longer.

Having really enjoyed my integrated master’s in Civil Engineering, I joined AWP almost immediately after graduating, initially in Graham’s team. I was introduced to civil engineering at an early age through my parents who would often take us on holidays to interesting bridges (just your typical family activity!) and there is a photo of 7-year-old me standing proudly in front of a newly opened Millau Viaduct.

Outside the office, you’ll probably find me playing football, tending to my many houseplants, or curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea and a good book. I also love the outdoors and exploring new places, I particularly enjoy winter sports, and am eager to plan my next skiing holiday. I am looking forward to continuing to learn with AWP, and hopefully put the things I learnt at University into practice.
