East Midlands-based civil and structural engineer BSP Consulting has appointed a new associate director and a new associate.
Jo Posnett has returned to the company as an associate director, having previously spent 19 years at BSP in the transport department. Meanwhile, Oliver McElroy has been promoted to associate.
BSP Consulting MD Carl Hilton said:
“I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Jo Posnett as associate director and Oliver McElroy as an associate. Jo was a valued member of our team for many years and her return is good news for our clients and her colleagues. Oliver is recognised as a senior leader within our civil engineering team and his promotion is well-deserved. I’d like to congratulate them both on their new positions, wish them all the best and thank them for contributing towards the continuing success of the business.”
Jo joined BSP Consulting in April 2005 as a senior transportation engineer before becoming principal transport planner and then an associate. After a year away from the company, she has now returned as associate director and will help to continue developing the recently re-organised transport planning team at BSP Consulting.
Jo, who now plans to spread her time between BSP’s Nottingham and Leicester offices, said:
“I am excited to have returned to BSP Consulting in a new role, having spent many years at the company previously. I now bring a slightly different perspective and wider expertise, which I am looking forward to using for the benefit of our clients.”
Oliver, who has been with BSP since November 2020 and was formerly principal engineer, contributes significantly to both the management and effectiveness of BSP’s Derby office and is playing a key role in the implementation of software application Civils3D across the company. He said:
“I am excited to have been promoted and given the opportunity to step up to the role of associate. BSP Consulting has a reputation for encouraging career progression and promotion from within, which is giving me the opportunity to continue my professional development and play a greater part in the management of the business.”
