The Surveyor’s Role in the Energy Transition with Roger Esson MRICS, Amit Patel MRICS, Jenny Stanning and Stephen Thompson FRICS #234

In light of the renewed global energy crisis following the conflict in Iran, we’re re-releasing one of our most pertinent episodes. Originally recorded during a period of greater market stability, this discussion between Roger Esson MRICS, Amit Patel MRICS, Jenny Stanning and Stephen Thompson FRICS explores how the surveying profession can help drive the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy systems.

The conversation highlights the continued reliance on oil and gas, the importance of professional standards, and the role surveyors play in supporting infrastructure change and workforce reskilling. As geopolitical pressures reshape the energy landscape, these insights are more timely than ever, offering a clear perspective on how surveyors can lead in building a more resilient, sustainable future.

This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:

• The surprising amounts of energy still being derived from oil and gas
• RICS members’ roles in transitioning to a greener energy mix and a more sustainable future
• How to get young kids, particularly young girls, interested in construction and STEM
• The role of standards in the energy transition
