Matt Byatt FIStructE will serve as the 102nd President of the Institution of Structural Engineers during 2023.



Matt is a Co-Founder and Director at Subteno, a company built upon the simple premise of providing engineering solutions that are fully considered, inherently safe and considerate of the environment. Matt is responsible for the technical running of their South Norfolk office.

He is a consulting engineer with widespread experience across the commercial, retail, and industrial sectors in the UK, as well as specialising in brownfield modifications of offshore structures.

Matt has been actively involved with the Institution since the mid 1990’s serving on numerous panels and committees as well as being East Anglian Regional Group Chairman twice, serving on Council and the Board.

Matt progressed from becoming an Incorporated Engineer in 1995, to Chartered in 2005 and a Fellow in 2015. In 2014 he was presented with the Institution’s Lewis Kent Award.

Matt said:

“It is a very special honour to be invited to be our Institution’s 102nd President. From my non-conventional start, not knowing which career direction to take in the early years. I am deeply humbled and a living testament that with hard work anything is possible.”

“Our profession is going through a period of rapid and fundamental change. The climate emergency, legislation and rising costs means that every structural engineer needs to re-evaluate their approach…regardless of experience or background. The Institution needs to support the profession as it responds to these challenges.”
