Simon Tucker Email and Phone Number
Hi, I am Simon👋 I have been working in civil engineering for over 30 years, including 5 years in New Zealand. I am passionate about the environment and sustainable development. I am a Chartered civil engineer with the Institution of Civil Engineers and enjoy providing solutions to the technical and environmental challenges associated with land development opportunities.I am a reflective problem solver who enjoys creative thinking when developing pragmatic solutions and am at my best in a dynamic and collaborative environment. My knowledge of the planning and regulatory aspects of development, coupled with my design and construction experience of leading teams engaged through the full life cycle of a project, means I am often able to add value by developing innovative solutions to mitigate otherwise prohibitive development costs for our clients.Climate change, loss of bio-diversity and infrastructure resilience are huge challenges for society and we need innovative engineering solutions to deliver the most benefit, whilst having the least environmental impact. Working closely with our planning, and urban design teams, we are helping the UK progress towards Net Zero by 2050, supporting a portfolio of clients across the energy, commercial and residential sectors and encouraging decarbonisation along the way.Whether its using recycled/modified material for earthworks, warm mix asphalts for new pavements or developing a sustainable drainage system that has multiple functions, of recreation , flood management and bio-diversity; our talented teams collaborate closely to drive change.In 1828 Thomas Tredgold ( The Institution of Civil Engineers) defined civil engineering as:"...the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man".Time may have marched on, but making the most of the finite resources we have has never been more important!👍Our engineering teams bring innovative thinking to create beautiful places, enhancing the built and natural environment in a way that positively affects people’s lives. The expertise that we offer has expanded from planning, to urban design, environmental consultancy advice, evolving to economics, heritage expertise, transport and infrastructure. Our expertise now spans the entire development process.Please feel free to get in touch!simon.tucker@pegasusgroup.co.uk

Director Of InfrastructurePegasus Group May 2023 - PresentCambridge, England, United KingdomI am the regional Pegasus Group infrastructure service line lead for the East of England and beyond! Part of my current role includes business development and supporting our strategic growth plan. Working closely with our infrastructure teams across the UK, I lead teams engaged on technical delivery. We work across many sectors including renewable energy, residential and commercial. The scope can vary greatly, from supporting clients with site viability assessments, site promotion, master planning/securing planning consent/discharge of conditions, through to full detailed design to secure technical approvals (S38, S278, S104 agreements) and build out.During my career, I have built and led teams, supporting colleagues to become professionally qualified. I am a Supervising Civil Engineer (SCE), and have recently become a Professional Reviewer for the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). Being able to shape and provide an environment that allows our diverse and talented teams to flourish, is very rewarding.Not one to plateau myself, in 2019, I enrolled on the Construction Engineering Master of Studies (MSt), at Cambridge University - at the ripe old age of 50 and successfully graduated in 2021, despite all Covid-19 would throw at us. 💪 My Dissertation examined the potential inhibitors preventing the wider use of modular housing.
