The student who achieved the highest ever grades at Highlands College for an HNC in Building Studies four years ago has now been awarded an MSc with Distinction in Building Services Engineering from London’s South Bank University.
Stuart Gray (34) is one of small, highly skilled team that makes up Jersey Energy, Jersey Electricity’s independent environmental building services design and energy consultancy. He has been studying for this degree for three years while continuing his full-time employment here in Jersey.
Building services engineer Stuart, who was educated at De La Salle College and Highlands, joined the company in 2009 and has worked on many complex projects, including the States’ Energy from Waste plant, the award winning Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust Visitor Centre, JT’s Data Centre and the new 66 Esplanade Office development.
His outstanding achievements have been recognised twice by Jersey Construction Council which honoured him for ‘Outstanding Achievement in Construction Studies’ in 2012 and later that same year presented him with the Ogier-sponsored ‘Industry Achiever Award’.
Stuart said: ‘It has been quite a commitment studying at this level while also working full-time but it wouldn’t have been possible without the backing of Jersey Electricity. I also thank my colleagues on the Jersey Energy team and my wife Michelle for all their support. Once again, I hope this is seen as a reflection of the excellent training opportunities available in the Island and highlights the local skills available to the industry and the States among teams such as Jersey Energy.’
Shaun Bisson, Jersey Energy’s Managing Consultant, said: ‘This achievement is a further demonstration of Stuart’s dedication to his studying and his desire to develop his skills to a higher level. The qualification gives Stuart more knowledge and experience in our industry and will enable him to undertake more detailed and complex projects within the business. He is to be congratulated and should be justly proud of attaining such an excellent result.’
