Navy commodore joins Costain as defence & nuclear chief

He becomes director of the firm after a 36-year naval career.

During his time at sea, he completed strategic deterrent submarine patrols, while onshore he was focused on training, capability management and support to operations.

His last role was as Commander of the Clyde naval base.

Natural resources managing director Sam White said: “Ensuring long-term, low carbon, energy resilience through our civil nuclear work contributes to protecting the UK from climate change while our work across defence supports the UK’s most strategic systems and the service personnel that use infrastructure to live, work and train for operations.

“To continue to deliver efficient and practical solutions to complex client challenges, Bob will initially focus on the interrelations between defence and nuclear to bring about the best solutions to make infrastructure fit for the future.”
