Steve Tovey joins SES after a 40-year long career at Haden Young, Balfour Beatty Engineering Services and its offsite manufacturing facility, Modular Systems+ and most recently its Kilpatrick mechanical and electrical (M&E) division.
Based at SES’ Birmingham offices, Steve will be responsible for leading the dynamic implementation of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) services specialist’s £300m growth strategy across the regions.
The business continues to see rapid expansion in the region and deliver stand-out projects many sectors including science and research.
As part of his new role at SES, the UK’s first M&E specialist to achieve full BIM Level 2 accreditation, Steve will also oversee the continued expansion of SES’ pioneering Prism offsite manufacturing business in the regions.
“SES really is ahead of the game when it comes to complex technical projects and embracing emerging digital engineering practices. After 40 years, in which I’ve seen the M&E sector be transformed beyond belief by innovation first-hand, SES is a truly exciting place to be,” said Tovey. “As the industry embraces digital engineering and offsite manufacturing, we will ultimately be judged by our performance.”
Jason Knights, Managing Director, SES Engineering Services, said: “Steve brings substantial knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to the business and we are confident that through the ongoing implementation of our regional growth strategy, we can continue to build on our impressive portfolio of high-profile projects under his guidance.”
