A Carlisle consultancy firm has expanded its services with a new appointment.
Paul Scott has joined Prospus Group.
Paul is a degree-qualified civil and transportation engineer with over 25 years of experience in the construction industry as well as in the residential, commercial, healthcare, and renewables sectors and will lead the civil engineering team at the firm.
Prospus Group provides a range of consultancy services including planning, architecture, and renewable energy – all with a focus on carbon reduction.
The firm said Paul’s civil engineering experience and skillset offer a natural extension to Prospus’ planning, architectural and energy teams, as they support clients through to RIBA stage 3.
Prior to joining Prospus Group, Paul was the lead civil engineer on the SSE framework providing the civil engineering design for several electrical substations in remote areas of Scotland, along with designing wind farm access tracks over challenging and environmentally sensitive terrain.
Paul said: “I’ve welcomed the opportunity to work at Prospus and become part of their team of diverse and motivated individuals.
“One area that attracted me to the business is the fact that their projects are as diverse as their people, from modular holiday accommodation, and innovative energy solutions using heat pumps and Solar PV, to master planning for motor racing tracks! I’m excited to offer my expertise to all aspects of Prospus’ projects and grow the engineering services we can provide our clients.”
Derek Mitchell, director at Prospus Group, said: “Paul is an excellent addition to the team. He is always looking for new and innovative solutions to construction problems and this combined with his areas of expertise will provide considerable value to many of our clients, especially thanks to his significant experience in flood modelling, earthwork analysis, topographic survey work, and highway, pavement, and drainage design.”
