Rhodar has boosted its remediation division with a key company appointment.

George Roberts has been named as the division's new geo-environmental engineer after two years experience carrying out site investigations and subsequent contamination and geo-technical reporting. He initially impressed as a subcontracted Resident Engineer on Rhodar's £850,000 Broad Street enabling works project in Birmingham earlier in the year, before being offered a permanent position.

Along with the appointment, Rhodar has also supported Technical Director Matt Bond's chartered geologist qualification. Matt, who has 17 years' experience in the investigation and assessment of brownfield land, and helped launch Rhodar's remediation division, has earned his chartership from the Geological Society of London, specialising in site characterisation and contaminated land remediation.

Commenting on his chartership, Matt Bond said: "There isn't a mandatory qualification required for remediation and site investigation but this chartership verifies that I am technically competent, backed by the Geological Society of London. It is quality assurance that guarantees Rhodar delivers to the highest standards through investment in its teams."

Jason Davy, Managing Director of Rhodar added: "Supporting Matt in obtaining his chartership and appointing George is a continuation of Rhodar's investment into the remediation division, enabling it to continue to grow and become a key player in national remediation services. I'm very pleased that we are able to offer a rewarding workplace for our teams - something we strive to achieve through our In Pursuit of Excellence programme - and deliver projects to the highest industry standards for our customers."
