Atkins engineer shortlisted for Engineering Professional of the Year ACE award - 01 April 2015

Matt Browell-Hook, project manager in Atkins' oil and gas division based in Aberdeen, has been shortlisted in the Engineering Professional of the Year category at the Association for Consultancy & Engineering (ACE) 2015 Engineering Excellence Awards.

Since 1985 the ACE Awards have recognised best practice and excellence in engineering, and Matt has been nominated for the award based on his remarkable technical achievement in developing best practice in integrity management. His work has focused on examining how cost and efficiency savings around managing assets during a period of low oil prices can be passed on to the North Sea operators that Atkins work in partnership with.

Matt said: "I'm honoured to have been nominated for this award, and it's a real privilege to be included in such a strong field of nominees."

Neil Aitken, operations director for Atkins' oil and gas division in Aberdeen, added: "I speak for everyone in the team to say that we're proud of Matt and pleased that his achievements have been recognised by our industry."

Chair of the judging panel Geoff French, immediate past president of ICE, said: "The ACE Engineering Excellence Awards once again highlight the great work being performed by our member companies in the UK and globally. This year's judges were extremely impressed by the entries which highlighted the finest examples of best practice in the consultancy and engineering sector."

The awards ceremony will be held on 20 May 2015 in London. Find out more here.
