In 1918, still living in Glasgow, he was admitted as a Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers while working as an ambulance orderly in France for the Red Cross. Later, he was appointed as a draughtsman at the Birmingham Canal Navigation, and was Engineer between at least 1931 and 1947. On nationalisation he was appointed Divisional Engineer in the North Western Division.
