Chris Wildig joins Create’s Civil Engineering team, bringing both consultancy and developer experience

We are thrilled to welcome Chris Wildig to Create as a Principal Civil Engineer. Chris will be based out of our Chelmsford office and brings over 13 years of experience, practical engineering knowledge and a robust understanding of how developers approach buildability.

Chris joins our Civil Engineering team having previously worked for ARD Consulting Engineers in Norwich, where he led civil engineering input across commercial and industrial developments, covering drainage, external works, levels and infrastructure design.

Prior to this, he held roles at WSP, Atkins and Ingent Consulting Engineers. Chris has also spent time on the developer side, working for both Persimmon and Bloor Homes. This housebuilder experience gives him a strong understanding of how sites progress through planning, technical approval and construction. At Persimmon Homes and Bloor Homes, Chris coordinated consultant design inputs, utility diversions and infrastructure packages, and supported Section 38 and Section 104 approvals and the discharge of planning conditions. He also has experience supporting land promotion and renewable energy projects, including battery storage, through his time with Pigeon Investment Management and Cambridge Power.

“Chris has a valuable mix of consultancy and developer experience which will greatly benefit our team, and particularly some of our younger civil engineers and apprentices. His understanding of how sites are delivered, will also benefit our clients and we are delighted to have him join us.”
