30-year-old among five new Fellowships awarded by the Institution of Civil Engineers.
Costain is celebrating the achievements of five professionals who have been awarded Fellowship by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the highest grade of membership and a globally recognised mark of professional excellence.
Fellowship is awarded in recognition of the significant contribution engineers have made to the profession and is an endorsement of leadership, knowledge, skills and experience. The list includes Georgia Thompson, who, at the age of 30, is the youngest woman ever to have achieved Fellowship.
Georgia is a chartered civil engineer and design manager at Costain. She is currently working with Heathrow Airport, where Costain has been commissioned to collaboratively shape, create and deliver asset renewal and construction projects. Georgia has had previous engineering roles on HS2, Network Rail and Transport for London.
Since 2023 Costain has successfully supported and coached 13 engineers through the ICE Fellowship application process as part of their career development. This is in addition to many other professional qualifications Costain supports across all levels and disciplines, with more than 450 chartered engineers across the organisation. In addition to Georgia, Costain professionals Simon Chaffer, Richard Helme, John Holding and Clive Glasspool also achieved ICE Fellowship last year.
Katherine Etheridge, ICE regional director, London, South East, and East of England, said: “It’s a privilege to be part of our members’ professional journeys. The ICE’s purpose is to ensure people and planet have the infrastructure they need to thrive, and we can’t do that without our members expertise. Seeing them achieve Fellowship status is always exciting.”
Andrew Threlfall, group chief engineer at Costain, said: “Congratulations to Georgia, Simon, Richard, John and Clive for achieving Fellowship status. At Costain, we place great importance on personal and professional growth and developing all our people to be the best they can be. Our engineering-led approach is vital to ensure we continue to deliver predictable, best-in-class sustainable infrastructure solutions for our customers.”
