An engineer from Harrogate has been elected as a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the oldest professional engineering association in the world.
Stephen Vollar, from Harrogate, works as a partner at Hill Cannon Consulting LLP, and was presented with his fellowship certificate by ICE President Andrew Wyllie at a special ceremony held at ICE’s headquarters in Westminster, London.
Stephen said: “I am delighted to be elected as a fellow to the ICE.
“Being an owner/partner for a number of years has been an ongoing career highlight and was a goal from graduation. I now revel in designing the best car parks, but the building that stands out is the one I designed and project managed the structure for, GA (now AVIVA) Lendal Bridge York.”
The ICE represents over 92,000 civil engineers and technicians across the world who design, build and maintain transport, water, energy, waste and flood infrastructure. Respected internationally, ICE Fellowship is the highest grade of ICE membership and a benchmark for those practising at the top level within the profession.
Penny Marshall, Regional Director of ICE North East, said: “Gaining ICE Fellowship is an exceptional achievement and I congratulate Stephen on his success.
“Stephen joins the ICE as a Fellow at a significant time for the ICE, our bicentenary year. We are proud to celebrate the contribution that he has made to the profession, demonstrating how civil engineers transform people’s lives for the better and safeguard the future for their families.”
