CECA North West

Interesting discussion at the @CECAPolicy Water Group roundtable at @UtilityWeekLive today: brilliant insights on collaboration, innovation and the future of UK water infrastructure. Thanks to everyone who joined the conversation. #CECA #infrastructure

Rapt attention at today’s On the Clock seminar. Huge thanks to @GFlemingQS for an insightful, practical session and to all our @CECANW members who joined us. Its great to support our industry with real, usable knowledge delivered at pace. 👏 #CECA #Construction #Infrastructure

Also to mark CECA’s 30th anniversary, we are proud to launch 30 Projects for 30 Years - a campaign celebrating the outstanding #infrastructure delivered by CECA members over the past three decades. Across the campaign, we will highlight projects that demonstrate the skill, innovation and professionalism of the UK’s civil engineering contractors: improving safety, connectivity, resilience and quality of life for communities across the country. Our first profile is the Bath Spa Platform Widenings project, delivered by MegaTech Projects Ltd for Network Rail. Working within the highly sensitive environment of a Grade I listed station, the project used MegaTech’s innovative Expanded Polystyrene platform system to widen and enhance 220 metres of platforms, while preserving key Victorian features and keeping the station operational. Delivered through a tightly controlled 16-day possession in 2017, the scheme improved safety, accessibility and passenger flow for thousands of daily users, while also supporting jobs and supply-chain activity. It is a strong example of what CECA members do best: solving complex delivery challenges, working collaboratively with clients and stakeholders, and delivering infrastructure that serves communities for the long term. We look forward to sharing more examples throughout CECA’s anniversary year. 30 years. 30 projects. Working for Infrastructure. #CECA30 #30ProjectsFor30Years #WorkingForInfrastructure #CivilEngineering #Infrastructure #Rail #Construction #NetworkRail

To mark CECA’s 30th anniversary, we are proud to launch our CECA *30 Under 30* campaign - celebrating the next generation of talent shaping the future of UK #infrastructure. Across the campaign, we will be highlighting young professionals from across CECA’s membership who are already making a real impact in civil engineering: delivering major projects, developing new skills, championing innovation, and helping to build a stronger, more sustainable industry. Our first profile is Cat Jones of Balfour Beatty plc, an Assistant Engineering Manager within the company’s power business, where she manages design across projects with a combined value of approximately £500 million. Cat is a strong role model for future engineers, acting with integrity and ambition while working to improve the industry for the next generation. She aspires to complete an MBA, achieve Chartered Engineer status, and progress to Director level at Balfour Beatty. CECA’s story over the past 30 years has been built by the people and businesses that deliver, upgrade and maintain the infrastructure the UK relies on. The next 30 years - the future of our industry - will be shaped by talented young professionals like Cat. Congratulations, Cat - and thank you for helping us launch CECA 30 Under 30. #CECA30 #30Under30 #WorkingForInfrastructure #CivilEngineering #Infrastructure #Construction #FutureTalent #BalfourBeatty

30 years. One mission. A new look for CECA. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we are introducing an evolved visual identity for CECA - one that reflects our role as a modern, authoritative voice for the UK’s civil engineering contractors. Our brand has changed. Our purpose has not. We remain focused on representing our members, championing infrastructure delivery, and supporting the companies that build, maintain and upgrade the infrastructure the UK depends on. Marking 30 years of Working for Infrastructure: 1996-2026. #CECA30 #WorkingForInfrastructure #Infrastructure #CivilEngineering #Construction

Today marks the first day of National Careers Week! National Careers Week (2–7 March 2026) is an important opportunity to highlight the wide range of rewarding careers available across the UK - and the vital role civil engineering plays in building, maintaining, and improving the infrastructure communities rely on every day. National Careers Week is a UK-wide celebration of careers guidance and resources, designed to help people explore future pathways, and this year’s campaign is encouraging people to “Own Your Future.” At CECA, we are proud to support efforts that help young people and career changers better understand the opportunities available in our sector - from apprenticeships and technical roles to project management, commercial, digital, environmental and leadership careers. Our industry offers long-term, skilled, well-paid and meaningful work, with the chance to contribute directly to economic growth, net zero, social value, and national resilience. Throughout hashtag#NationalCareersWeek, we encourage CECA members, educators, and industry partners to showcase the breadth of opportunities in infrastructure and inspire the next generation to consider a career in civil engineering.
