One hundred years after Sir Ernest Shackleton’s final expedition to the Antarctic, a Costain consultant will be making the same journey.
Phil Carrotte is joining the Antarctic Quest 21 climate change expedition which will undertake critical scientific research into how climate change and microplastics are affecting the Antarctic continent. Costain is an expedition sponsor.
A chartered mechanical engineer with an MSc in construction economics and management, Carrotte served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in the UK and Germany, was deployed on training exercises across Europe, Canada and the US, and on operations to Iraq three times. He left the Army in March 2021 and joined Costain.
“I’m excited and honoured to be part of the team carrying out this important research,” said Carrotte, who has experience in instructing on safe glacier travel including crevasse rescue and climbing in the Himalayas.
