Babtie Group (formerly Babtie, Shaw and Morton) was a firm of civil engineers based in Glasgow, Scotland, and noted for its work on bridges, dams and reservoirs. It took its name following the 1906 merger of Babtie & Bonn (a partnership founded by John Babtie and Carl Bonn in 1897) and Shaw & Morton (founded by William Shaw and Hugh Morton).
Notable design projects include the Backwater Reservoir, Kielder Water, and the Harland and Wolff shipbuilding dock in Belfast.
James Arthur Banks and William George Nicholson Geddes both became President of the Institution of Civil Engineers while partners in the firm.
The Babtie Group acquired consulting engineers Harris & Sutherland in 1997, then also Allott & Lomax in 2000.
The 3,500-strong Babtie Group was acquired by Jacobs Engineering Group in August 2004.
Gordon Masterton, a director of Babtie from 1993 became the firm's third President of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 2005 whilst a Vice President of Jacobs.
