Suir Engineering appoints Stephen Robinson as group technical director
Suir Engineering Ltd has appointed chartered engineer Stephen Robinson to the position of group technical director. Based in the company’s Manchester office, Robinson will be responsible for Suir Engineering’s technical strategy in Ireland, the UK, and Europe as the company marks 40 years in business.
Stephen Robinson worked for regional and multi-national consultants, including WSP, designing and leading projects and teams across the UK, Ireland, and the Middle East before moving into contracting. His appointment at Suir Engineering follows his tenure as Northern Regional Director with full P&L accountability at Briggs and Forrester Engineering Services, which followed 11 years in leadership design and delivery at NG Bailey.
An experienced chartered engineer, his extensive skillset and diverse multimarket background provide him with valuable experiences and insights that he will bring to his role at Suir Engineering. He will oversee the company’s internal design, BIM, engineering, digital and planning functions and provide technical governance, strategy, and guidance to these functions as Suir Engineering continues to expand its client portfolio and grow in line with the overall business strategy.
Speaking about the appointment, Brendan Moley, Chief Operations Officer, Suir Engineering, commented: “An experienced industry professional, Stephen Robinson will play a pivotal and driving role in our expansion across the UK and in new and emerging markets for the business. Innovative experts of Stephen’s calibre are vital when there’s such a need for improved electricity infrastructure and the adoption of new technologies, for example, the rise in adoption of liquid-based cooling solutions within the data centre market by our clients.”
Stephen Robinson, who has also joined Suir Engineering’s newly established Sustainability Committee, said: “I have been impressed by the technical capability of the people at Suir Engineering, who apply their considerable knowledge and expertise to its four key sectors and client projects. I’m looking forward to working with and developing these teams further, specifically with our expansion into new and emerging markets and sectors across Europe.”
