BAM Nuttall Limited (formerly known as Edmund Nuttall Limited) is a construction and civil engineering company headquartered in Camberley, United Kingdom. It has been involved in a portfolio of road, rail, nuclear, and other major projects worldwide.^[1] It is a subsidiary of the Dutch Royal BAM Group.

Found by James Nuttall Senior in 1865, the company undertook civil engineering works initially in the road and sewerage sectors, in and around Manchester. Over time, it took on various major engineering works, such as those related to the Manchester Ship Canal, Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, and the Mersey Tunnel. Following the death of James Nuttall Senior in 1904, his sons, Sir Edmund Nuttall, 1st Baronet and James Nuttall, headed the company and expanded it throughout Great Britain. During the Second World War, then-head of the company, Sir Keith Nuttall, 2nd Baronet, died in the line of duty with the Royal Engineers while the company itself fulfilled numerous government contracts, including the building of the Mulberry harbour units, various Royal Ordnance Factories, and other defence-related schemes. Following the conflict, the business worked on numerous major projects, including on power stations and several lengthy tunnels, including planning works for the Channel Tunnel.

It was purchased by the Netherlands-based construction group Hollandsche Beton Groep (later HBG), and soon after acquired numerous other businesses, mainly based in the British market. Following the Privatisation of British Rail, the company developed a considerable footprint in the railway construction sector. During 2002, HBG (and thus Edmund Nuttall) was acquired by Royal BAM Group, after which some restructuring was performed. On 10 October 2008, Edmund Nuttall Limited changed its name to BAM Nuttall Limited.
