Emma McGregor wins prestigious ICE James Rennie Medal

The James Rennie Medal recognises the best Chartered Professional Review candidate of the year, which saw over 1600 candidates come forward for their review.

Emma’s presentation focused on her experience working on Viking Wind Farm, a 103-turbine, 443MW onshore wind farm on mainland Shetland. Now operational, it is anticipated that this will be one of the most productive wind farms in the world, powering 500,000 homes.

Emma was one of three recently chartered professionals to be shortlisted as finalists for the award. During the ceremony, hosted by ICE President Professor Jim Hall, the three finalists presented their Chartered Professional Review reports.

A question-and-answer session with the audience and panel of industry experts followed before the winner was announced.

“What an honour it is to have won the 2025 James Rennie Medal. Just making it to the final felt like a win, so to come away with the medal feels extra special, especially with the calibre of the other two finalists...

Thank you to everyone who has supported and guided me along the way, it wouldn’t have been possible without you!”– Emma McGregor

Emma joined Tony Gee as a student in 2014, starting as a Graduate Engineer in 2018.
