CIHT Emerging Professionals Conference 2025

We're proud to once again be sponsoring the CIHT Emerging Professionals Conference this year, an event which sees early career professionals from across the highways, transportation and infrastructure sector join industry leaders to discuss key issues and learn about their sector.

This event helps companies and individuals understand the future of the industry, and gain insights to supercharge the efficiency and economy of their plans.

​

Previous Projects

CIHT Emerging Professionals Conference 2023

Carrington West proudly sponsored the CIHT’s emerging professional conference (EPC) in April 2023. The event took place at Aston University and saw over 250 delegates attend a day of talks, seminars and networking. Director Simon Gardiner, and Senior Consultant, Natasha Jones presented two breakout sessions: 'How to be Indispensable at Work.'

​

Joint Research​

In 2021, we worked alongside CIHT to conduct a series of research surveys to explore how the pandemic has changed the way organisations in the highways and infrastructure sector operate.

As we move forwards, many companies will be rethinking the way they operate and the future of their workforce, to ensure business continuity and the happiness and safety of their employees.

Through a series of three surveys sent to CIHT members and Carrington West contacts, between September and November 2021, we investigated:

• The future of the post pandemic workforce – what will be the new normal

• Inclusivity, skills and training in the post Covid workplace

• “Future Skills” - what does the future look like for young engineers?
