Pedro left Portugal in 2007 to start his career in civil engineering at Cundall. He was initially employed as a Civil Engineering Technician working alongside Geoff Carter and Rob Kennedy in Manchester. In 2008 Pedro enrolled on a part time BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering at the University of Salford. During his time at Cundall, Pedro worked on residential and retail projects but was primarily involved in the education sector supporting the Building Schools for the Future programme. During this time, Pedro developed a keen interest in sustainable drainage and flooding matters leading to him focusing on this topic for his final year dissertation.

In 2010 Pedro joined Martin Stockley Associates in Manchester as a Civil Engineering Technician. He continued to work on residential schemes such as the Gateway to Oldham PFI, where he gained first-hand knowledge of highways and public realm projects. Pedro completed his degree training in 2012 and continued to work at Martin Shockley Associates as a Project Engineer before joining Sinclair Knight Merz in 2013 where became involved in rail projects working for Network Rail and London Underground, and stadia design working on the Anfield Main Stand project.

Shortly after the acquisition of Sinclair Knight Merz by Jacobs in 2014, Pedro joined Royal Haskoning DHV as a Senior Engineer. Over the course of the next eight years, Pedro progressed to become an Associate Director of the design team. During this period, he developed as an infrastructure engineer whilst working on highways, commercial, residential, maritime and land reclamation projects in the UK and overseas. The exposure to international work across the globe meant Pedro obtained a wider breadth of knowledge in infrastructure design, developing expertise in surface water management and sustainable drainage application. This led to Pedro’s involvement in Development Consent Order (DCO) Applications for renewable energy schemes and Heathrow’s Airport third runway for Arora where he was an advisor on drainage and infrastructure.

In 2022 Pedro was invited to join Kennedy Redford as Director of Civil Engineering and he continues to grow the team with Dan Bradley whilst expanding our capability to deliver major infrastructure projects. During his brief time with Kennedy Redford, Pedro has drawn on his prior knowledge of international projects and has led the delivery of several district drainage networks in the Middle East. He is very much involved in day-to-day project delivery whilst remaining focused on building a strong civils team that can support and grow the Kennedy Redford business.

Outside of Kennedy Redford, Pedro enjoys cycling and hiking and he frequently spends time unwinding in the Peak District. He is an authority on fine wines (usually Portuguese) and is a self-styled DIY enthusiast. His most recent project involved the design and construction of an outdoor kitchen, complete with a bespoke fabricated Portuguese style wood rack and grill. He is also the recipient of the Best Beard award at Kennedy Redford.
