Morrison Construction Regional Director, Stephen Slessor, has been
announced as the new President of the Chartered Institution Civil Engineering Surveyors (CICES).
Beginning his career at Galliford Try in 2006 as a Quantity Surveyor, Slessor has worked his way through the business to lead Morrison's Environment business within Scotland. The CICES is the leading professional body for specialists in geospatial engineering and commercial management in infrastructure.
Plans for Steve's presidential year include introducing an online knowledge hub to support members in their professional development and improve support and communications internationally.
It is understood that he is keen to keep academic pathways to civil engineering relevant and engaged with industry and has recently become a visiting professor at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen.
Mr Slessor said: "I firmly believe that the expertise and opinions of civil engineering surveyors are both influential and necessary in driving transformational change. We need to build back from the coronavirus pandemic with a focus on sustainability of people and resources, and for that we need committed and focused professionals, who have their voices heard at the highest levels of decision making."
