It gives me great pleasure to share the news that one of our Project Controls Technical committee member, Roger Batten, has recently achieved 60 years membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).

The Project Controls Network is a collaboration between the IET and the ACostE with the joint aim of advancing the knowledge and understanding of Project Control to as wide an audience as possible. During 2020 and 2021, we produced a series of 8 webinars that covered the basics of Project Controls. These webinars are still available on demand – you can view them on our Technical Webinar Hub. 

Roger has been a long standing supporter of the committee, and alongside 60 years in the ICE, he has also been a member of the Association of Cost Engineers for nearly fifty years and a member of the American Association of Cost Engineers for some forty years. In 1998 he was awarded the MBE ‘for services to cost engineering’ and, in 2015, he was presented with a ‘Certification of Recognition with thanks and in recognition of the valuable contribution made to the work of the Engineering Council in his capacity as a Liaison Officer’ after twenty years in the role. He is a Past-President of the Association of Cost Engineers and a Past-Chairman of the International Cost Engineering Council.
