Costain’s Water Customer Director has been invited to take a role in helping oversee an important document that could influence the future shape of Government policy towards the industry.
Matt Crabtree will sit on an Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Lifed Panel supervising the delivery of a review of the sector as part of the ICE’s ‘State of the Nation’ series of papers. The document is due to be delivered in June 2012.
Andrew Crudginton, the ICE’s Head of Policy, commented that the Institution was "keen to ensure a balance of perspectives on the Group and felt that Costain’s extensive contracting experience in the sector would bring a lot to the project."
The role will involve attending steering group meetings plus evidentiary hearings, when Group members have a chance to interrogate experts from across the Sector. Matt Crabtree will also review drafts of the report at various stages of the project.
The Group will be responsible for steering the direction of the project and assuring the quality of the outputs.
Andrew Crudgington added:
“These documents go into the public domain and the aspiration is that they go to Government and influencers.”
As a respected professional body, the ICE report will undoubtedly be expected to carry some weight with ministers and officials.
Matt Crabtree's participation on the panel will be seen as a further indicator of Costain’s reputation in the water sector..
