We are very proud to officially announce that Associate Director Craig Smith has achieved Chartered Engineer status.
Following completion of his master’s degree (MSc) in Building Services Engineering Management in 2009, which was proudly sponsored by the Rolton Group, Craig undertook a programme of continuous professional development towards applying for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status through the Engineering Council (EC) UK.
In May of this year, he applied to the Institution of Engineering and Technology (formerly the Institution of Electrical Engineers) for the grade of CEng; this followed completion of the application process, demonstration of competences in accord with the ECUK SPEC and an interview in October. Craig’s name will shortly be registered following completion of associated paperwork with the EC and the IET as Chartered Engineer.
Congratulations to Craig, whose ambition and capability have seen him rise through the company since arriving in 2002 as an Assistant Project Engineer to his current position on the senior management team; the accolade is well deserved.
We are delighted to announce that Darcy Edwards, Executive Officer to the Chairman at Rolton, has joined BEFA as a Young Leader. The appointment builds on Peter Rolton’s position on BEFA’s Strategic Advisory Board, giving Rolton a unique opportunity to contribute at two critical levels: through established industry leadership and through the experience, priorities, and fresh ideas of the next generation.
We are delighted to welcome Krzysztof Mielnik to the Rolton team as senior consultant for vertical transportation (VT).
Krzysztof’s appointment marks the next step in the rapid growth of our recently launched independent Vertical Transportation consultancy. Led by industry expert Tim Piggott, our dedicated VT team provides comprehensive expertise across the entire lifecycle of advanced lift technology from design and construction to commissioning, handover, and ongoing operational support.
Rolton is pleased to have contributed to the newly launched industry report, ‘Built Environment Strategic Workforce Planning for 2030’.
The comprehensive publication stems from the latest INSPIRE event hosted by the Built Environment Futures Assembly (BEFA). This powerful leadership forum was established by the University of the Built Environment (UBE) to break down professional silos, spark collaboration, and drive excellence across engineering, construction, and real estate.
