If you haven't already, I highly recommend you listen to the first of these two episodes with Malcolm before this one.

In this second of two episodes with Malcolm Peake we talk about a particular aspect of his work supporting career paths and professional recognition for apprentices and technicians. Malcolm explains his thoughts on the history of engineering, how the idea of a Mater and their trainee has been around for thousands of years. He sees apprenticeships and technician career paths as a modern version of that tradition, as well as a vital component of a successful Civil Engineering endeavors.

Malcolm exudes enthusiasm for Civil Engineering and the career opportunities it provides with every story and anecdote he recounts. His hugely varied career has put him in an excellent position to assist others with finding the right career path for them.

In this episode I talk to Warren Rigby about his apprenticeship route in to the contracting side of Civil Engineering and the role that he had on the challenging M6 Clifton Rail Bridge replacement scheme. Warren is a talented engineer with a passion for the industry and helping others follow in his footsteps. He was awarded the Tony Chapman medal in 2026 for the exceptional standard of his application for Incorporated Professional Review and his enthusiasm for Civil Engineering and ongoing engagement with the ICE.

This episode might be of particular interest if you are considering or actively following an apprenticeship route into the industry, or would like to better understand how the system is working. Warren has some great advice for making the most of your training, and some pitfalls to look out for. He goes on to set out some of the opportunities ahead of him and talks about some of the work he is doing to promote wider early engagement with Civil Engineering.
