Multi Award Winning Consulting Civil, Structural & Conservation Engineers

Meet the team

Gillian Ogilvie

MEng (Hons), CEng, MICE, MIStructE

Managing Director (Edinburgh)

I lead the team in the Edinburgh office and have been with Will Rudd since starting as a Project Engineer in 2005, prior to this I worked as both a contractor and a consultant all over the UK. I have design and construction experience in all major construction materials and experience in retail, residential, commercial and public buildings, amongst other things.

I have worked in multi-disciplinary project teams and use this experience to bring a proactive “can do” approach to my role. I was appointed as a Director at Will Rudd in 2015 and since then have built up my experience in leading and developing the business culminating in me being appointed Managing Director in 2020.

My dual Civil and Structural Chartered Engineer status, along with my experience as a contractor, means that I bring a well rounded knowledge to projects and am very active in promoting whole life cycle construction in our practice. I have a particular interest in conservation engineering having worked on the Usher Hall Extension, the Edinburgh Future’s Institute development at Quartermile, and the Edinburgh Printmakers development, along with other high profile buildings in Edinburgh and beyond.

I am committed to building and developing the Edinburgh side of the business and continuing to promote our values of continuous improvement and am look forward to continuing to provide the excellent level of service that our clients have come to expect.

In my spare time I like to travel the world and my most memorable holiday was a trip to Nicaragua. Friendly people, beautiful Spanish inspired colonial architecture and amazing erupting volcanos, not to mention the turtles nesting on the beach in their thousands. Unforgettable!
