Michael didn’t grow up wanting to be a surveyor – in fact, he didn’t even know what the job involved until he applied for a trainee role he spotted in a newspaper! Since then, he has spent over 20 years working on surveying projects across the UK and overseas.

One of Michael’s favourite parts of the job is being able to travel around the country, working on a huge variety of different sites and seeing places most people never get to visit.

Today, he is an Associate Partner at Ridge and Partners LLP, a Fellow and Trustee of the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (CICES), and an active mentor who is committed to helping young people discover the profession and supporting future surveyors.

Keegan’s grandfather was a civil engineer designing bridges, mines and dams across Africa and the middle east and was the reason he wanted to be an engineer growing up.

After graduating from Loughborough University with a Masters degree in Civil Engineering in 2018 Keegan started designing residential and commercial developments before moving on to racetracks and motorsports venues at Driven International.

Over the last 4 years he has worked on multiple Formula 1, Moto GP and World Championship Go Karting circuits while becoming a fully Chartered Engineer with the Institution of Civil Engineers in 2024. His favourite project was the Moto GP upgrades to Buddh International Circuit in 2022, India’s first ever World Championship Motorcycle race.
