BCSA appoints welding and fabrication manager
Jeff Garner, previously Principal Engineer at Mott MacDonald, has been appointed as the new BCSA Welding and Fabrication Manager.
Mr Garner is a certified European Welding Engineer, a member of the Welding Institute and has a wealth of experience in all aspects of welding and fabrication.
His previous employment also includes railway sector Principal Welding Engineer at The Engineering Link; General Manager at Tecforce; Welding Engineer at British Steel; Welding Engineering Manager at British Railways Board, and Company Welding Engineer at Titanium Fabricators.
The forthcoming introduction of CE Marking for fabricated steelwork and the associated European Standards for fabrication has prompted the BCSA to make the appointment. Mr Garner’s role will be to advise BCSA members on all aspects of welding and welding quality management.
He will also assist BCSA’s subsidiary company, the Steel Construction Certification Scheme, in the assessment of welding quality management systems and the associated responsible welding coordinator.
David Moore, BCSA Director of Engineering, said: “Jeff is able to visit BCSA member companies to give advice on general welding issues, how to set up welding quality management systems to BS EN 3834 and provide information on the knowledge and competence of the responsible welding coordinator.”
Mr Garner will be based at the new BCSA office in Yorkshire and he can be contacted at: jeff.garner@steelconstruction.org
