The Infrastructure Podcast: Episode 155
Guest: Squadron Leader David Littlemore, Executive Officer, Cyber & Specialist Operations Command, Infrastructure, RAF
In this episode of the podcast we explore the way the UK Armed Services has been radically upping its game in terms of the support, promotion and development of professional engineering careers. To do this, I'm joined by Squadron Leader David Littlemore from the Royal Air Force, currently executive officer infrastructure at Cyber and Specialist Operations Command. David is also fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, in fact, the only chartered civil engineer in the RAF, and I'd say that he is also a passionate advocate for merging the best of military and civilian engineering training to create complete and capable professional engineers fit for the future.

Transforming Infrastructure Performance
In this episode we dive into the infrastructure sector’s journey towards digitisation, decarbonisation and modernisation – a journey which to be honest, seems like one that we have been on for some time. To do this, my guest is
Mark Coates, Vice President of Infrastructure Policy Advancement at software giant Bentley Systems
and the guiding mind behind TIP, the Transforming Infrastructure Performance global Summit initiative, the latest iteration of which was held last month in Melbourne.
A series of conversations with some of the key leaders and influencers from across the UK infrastructure sector, produced and hosted by journalist and commentator Antony Oliver.
The next episode of the Infrastructure Podcast will be published on Monday 23rd March 2026
