Today is a big day for us here in Aberdeen. A red letter day.
Today we formally launch our I.Chem.E. Accredited Company Training Scheme in Aberdeen. We've got a celebration planned. The champagne is on ice. The food is ordered, and it's not pies and bacon rolls.
Today is a big deal for us. We've worked hard over the years to develop our junior engineers to chartered status. From today, we are committing to do just as much to support people, with the added commitment that we are prepared to be audited on how well we're doing.
Today is a significant step on our vision to be the best staff consultancy in Aberdeen. Part of the best design consultancy in the world.
Atkins is all about technical excellence. Consultancy excellence. Personal excellence. Chartership is a key part of demonstrating that we can achieve this.
It's not going to be easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is. We're committed to challenging our engineers to develop, to challenging ourselves to support them. It's a worthwhile goal, chartered engineer. Not many gas fitters (aka engineers) with those letters after their name.
Today is a big day.
