A CIOB fellow and Willmott Dixon manager is to take on the newly created role of chair of CIOB trustees.
Steve Nitman FCIOB is commercial manager with Willmott Dixon, where he has been for nearly 20 years, and is also a long-standing CIOB trustee.
The decision to create a role of CIOB chair follows a recent governance review carried out by the institute. It is a two- to three-year term to provide leadership to the Board of Trustees, with a focus on ensuring it has agreed priorities, appropriate structures and processes and a productive culture. The chair will work alongside the CEO and president.
Commenting on his appointment, Nitman said: “I am privileged to be part of CIOB, as a global organisation combining an open culture with professional commitment.
“I am looking forward to leading the trustee team to help move the institute forward at a time of transformation for all construction professionals, the Institute and the industry.
“I would also like to thank my colleagues at Willmott Dixon for their continued support, which has given me the opportunity to take on this role and give something back to the industry and future professionals.”
Nitman took up the role officially at the conclusion of CIOB’s AGM, which took place virtually on 29 June 2022.
