The appointments include fire engineer Ben Dempsey, whose past body of work includes consulting on logistics centres for Amazon, and graduate fire engineer Will Everitt, who both join the OFR Edinburgh team.

Stephen McCrossan joins the team in Glasgow as a graduate engineer alongside Peter Meehan who recently joined as a senior engineer, bringing four years of experience working on large scale projects across the UK.

The new recruits take the OFR team to 116 colleagues, delivering multi-million-pound projects and offering fire engineering advice to clients including Brockwell Energy and Robertson Construction.

Since its inception in Manchester in 2016, it has extended its reach across the country, with the Scottish team recently moving into new premises in Edinburgh’s Scott House on South St Andrew’s Street.

Jamie Gibson, associate director at OFR in Scotland, said: “We are proud to bring more great talent into our team.

“OFR has invested in its people across the country, ensuring that we have a fantastic team in place to support us on prominent projects in Scotland – from the redevelopment of Jenners in Edinburgh to our work with NHS Assure.

“The expertise of our fantastic colleagues – both old and new – helps us deliver great work in this region and beyond. We welcome Ben, Will, Stephen and Peter to the team.”
