The engineering construction industry values its members, who design, construct, maintain, renew and dismantle the UK’s strategically important industrial infrastructure. Not only is it essential that these individuals are highly skilled and competent, but it is also essential that their competence is properly recognised and validated.

Dounreay’s P3M Head of Profession, Simon Coles, said:

For NRS Dounreay, achieving the highest score possible in the assessment showcases the dedication and excellence of the training and development team.
