The DoI has paid tribute to Aidan McCusker, Head of Design in Highway Services, who has retired after more than 37 years of service.
Mr McCusker began his island career in October 1988, bringing with him five years of post graduate engineering experience from Ireland.
He joined the former Department of Local Government and the Environment’s Building Control Directorate, later moving to the Department of Highways, Ports and Properties as an Assistant Structural Engineer in 1990.
Over his career, he contributed to major projects including the Laxey Bridge replacement, Ramsey Swing Bridge refurbishment and the Peel Marina development.
Reflecting on his career, Aidan said: “I will miss all the wonderful people in Highway Services and across Government when I retire. I am proud of the achievements made as part of various teams over the years.”
Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall said: “Aidan has made an exceptional contribution to the Isle of Man’s infrastructure over nearly four decades.”
“His technical expertise, leadership and commitment to high standards have helped shape many of the Island’s most important civil engineering projects.”
“On behalf of the department and the wider government, I want to sincerely thank him for his dedication, his professionalism, and the support he has given to colleagues throughout his career.
“We wish him a very happy and well earned retirement.”
