I have undertaken consulting work for Engineering consultants, contractors and local authorities. These activities are related to my academic and professional interests and are thus useful for maintaining contact with industry and maintaining my knowledge and skills in engineering current.
I have served as a member on the Local Government Appointments Commission panel interviewing applicants for appointment to the engineering section of the Office of Public Works. |
