Engineering expert’s role with consultancy
AN ENGINEERING, planning and environmental consultancy has appointed a new associate director to its structures department.
Peter Dawson has joined Caulmert as associate director of structures to help continue the expansion of the employee-owned firm, which has offices in St Asaph and Bangor.
The 46-year-old brings 23 years’ engineering experience with him after working on the delivery of projects in a variety of sectors including nuclear, chemical, waste-to-energy and rail.
He has led design teams on major projects including a £6m train station development, a £65m thermal power station and various multi-storey builds in Manchester’s Spinningfields centre.
He graduated from Birmingham University in 1993 and went on to work for a number of major engineering consultancies, as well as earning chartered status from the Institution of Structural Engineers in 2001.
Mr Dawson said: “I’m excited to be joining the Caulmert team and being given the chance to work on some really interesting projects.
“The business is very ambitious and has set specific goals which I’m eager to help reach, all whilst producing high-quality results for clients.
“I’m joining an expert team that offers an impressive breadth of services which will be vital for our future growth.”
Mike Caulfield, managing director and founder of Caulmert, added: “Peter’s experience and skills are highly valuable, so I’m pleased he’s agreed to join us.
“His in-depth knowledge of the industry makes him an asset to his new team and, indeed, the wider company.”
Founded in 2009, Caulmert is on track to meet an ambitious 15-year growth plan that would see it employ 250 people by 2024.
In addition to Bangor and St Asaph, it also has offices in Altrincham and Nottingham.
The firm, whose projects span the UK from the Hebrides to the Isle of Wight, counts among its clients Willmott Dixon, Stoke City FC, Wynne Construction, TGI Fridays, Viridor, and Airbus.
