Environmental experts Marc Stedman, Dan Peers and Mohsen Ebrahimi from SYSTRA have been recognised by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM).

Three of SYSTRA Ltd’s Signature Team for water and the environment have gained a hat-trick of accolades from professional body the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM).

CIWEM is the leading royal chartered professional body dedicated to sustainable management of the environment. It aims to build a global community of water and environmental professionals dedicated to working for the public benefit.

Marc Stedman, Discipline Lead for Water Resources and Climate Resilience at SYSTRA, has been made a Fellow of the institution, and has also gained his Chartership.

Marc is currently leading some of the first overflow sewer designs to address The Environment Act 2021 requirements for the water sector. The Act requires water companies to continuously monitor the quality of the water upstream and downstream of their treatment assets to allow meaningful assessments on relevant local watercourses. With severe weather events happening more regularly, water companies are increasingly in the spotlight to make improvements and protect our built and natural environments.

Dan Peers, Principal Consultant in the Water Resources and Climate Resilience (Flood Risk) team at SYSTRA, has received his Chartership, making him a Chartered Water and Environmental Manager (C.WEM). This marks a significant milestone in his 10+ year career which has so far involved projects that improve contaminated land and surface water. Dan is a strong environmental champion and advocate of industry best practice; he generously gives up his own time to mentor others in the early stages of their career.

Dr Mohsen Ebrahimi, Principal Engineer (Rivers) at SYSTRA, has been made a Fellow of CIWEM, which follows on from being made a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) earlier in 2024. Mohsen is currently leading the SYSTRA team focused on the interaction of HS2 viaducts with rivers and the environment in the West Midlands.

John Oldridge, Practice Director at SYSTRA, said: “We are immensely proud of Marc, Dan and Mohsen who exemplify our values of excellence, bold leadership and connected teams. Their professional achievements and journey to success are impressive and they have been deservedly rewarded for their influential environmental practice.”

“As climate change has put our environment into sharper focus, we are evermore determined to grow and nurture our dedicated team of environmental professionals to help create a strong and resilient future for our planet and our people.”

Marc Stedman (C.WEM, FCIWEM), added: “I have been a proud promoter of CIWEM and the sector for 25 years, so it is an honour to become a Fellow and gain my Chartership, and help shape the global community of water and environmental professionals dedicated to working for the public benefit.”

The climate challenge is huge, but the rewards are bigger still. I am keen to use this important recognition to build valued business relationships based on trust, honesty and integrity.

Dan Peers (C.WEM), added: “I’m absolutely delighted to receive my Chartership from CIWEM. I am so proud of the way our projects bring together multi-discipline teams from across civils, drainage, mechanical, electrical, project management and environmental disciplines to find the best solutions.”

Dr Mohsen Ebrahimi (CEng, C.WEM, FICE, FCIWEM) added: “I am proud to have been named a Fellow of CIWEM, adding to my Fellowship from the Institution of Civil Engineers earlier this year. The dedicated team here at SYSTRA are leading the way in river management and it is a pleasure to work with them to deliver sustainable transport and infrastructure projects.”
