We always welcome the opportunity to raise awareness about the variety of career opportunities available within the engineering profession and to shed some light on what they entail, so this week Rolton Group opened its doors to pupils from a number of schools as part of the Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership’s Bright Futures campaign.
The visiting students were given presentations by graduates from each of our in-house disciplines, who described their own educational backgrounds and went on to explain the activities of their working day before offering advice for aspiring engineers and taking questions from the floor.
The event, named Open Doors, has been organised to offer local pupils an idea of what the working world within a number of industries is like. We hope to have demonstrated that a career in engineering is a varied and rewarding choice for ambitious and talented young people, and would direct anyone looking for further information to our graduate profiles.
We would like to extend our thanks to all of the attendees for their interest and for asking such engaging questions of our graduates! Thanks also to Kerry Senatore of the NEP for inviting Rolton Group to be a part of this important campaign, we look forward to participating in other events in the future. Below is an image taken of our graduates and sixth form pupils from the local Wrenn School:
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.
