Building and civil engineering company, Sir Robert McAlpine<\/a>, has appointed Simone Starnini as head of fa\u00e7ade engineering<\/h2>\n

In the course of his career, which spans more than twenty years, Simone Starnini has established himself as an internationally respected figure in the fa\u00e7ade engineering field. Having worked on some of London\u2019s most iconic buildings, Starnini brings a wealth of expertise to lead Sir Robert McAlpine\u2019s fa\u00e7ade team.<\/p>\n

Simone Starnini began his career in academia at the School of Engineering of the University of Bologna<\/a>. In 1998, he joined Focchi, an Italian curtain walling specialist contractor operating internationally. Working across a range of senior positions in the firm, he delivered a number of large schemes in London, including the London Stock Exchange Building in Paternoster Square; a city block on 30 Gresham Street; and the RBS building in Devonshire Square.<\/p>\n

In 2005, Simone Starnini joined Laing O’Rourke to introduce and run the fa\u00e7ade engineering<\/a> department. He was responsible for delivering the envelope for world-class projects, including One Hyde Park, The Leadenhall Building, the Francis Crick Institute, and Guy\u2019s and St. Thomas’ Hospital.<\/p>\n

Simone Starnini, commented: \u201cI’m very excited to start this new adventure with Sir Robert McAlpine, a company I have admired since\u00a0my sub-contracting days.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve been impressed with the enthusiasm and commitment of their senior management and I’m eager to settle within the organisation and to start contributing to win and successfully deliver projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boyd McFee, director of engineering and technical services at Sir Robert McAlpine, added: \u201cI am delighted to welcome Simone Starnini to Sir Robert McAlpine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout his prestigious career, Simone has delivered world-class projects and demonstrated the commitment to engineering excellence that typically underpins our values. He will be a tremendous asset to our Fa\u00e7ade department and our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
