Perspectives on Tackling the Skills, Resource & Diversity Challenges in the Brownfield Sector

The brownfield sector is facing challenges across the board in resourcing and recruiting the people and skills required to fulfil current project requirements and enable growth. Additionally, in a recent survey the wider environmental profession was ranked the second least ethnically diverse sector in the UK. 

Our Brownfield & Regeneration Network panel discussion on 8 November at 10:00 GMT, held in partnership with SiLC, will bring together a diverse panel with a wide range of experiences, to discuss these challenges, including the current approach to recruitment and career development, and explore strategies to attract and recruit a more diverse workforce, and future-proof the sector to better meet changing industry and project demands.

Chair:

• Carrie Rose, Associate Technical Director, Atkins & Chair of SiLC Equality, Diversity and Inclusion subgroup

Panellists:

• James Bickle, Consultant, Delta Simons
• Ethny Childs, Communities & Partnership Lead, Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES)
