I’m a Graduate Civil Engineer working in the Water Sector and serve as the Bristol Water Carbon Champion. My role involves designing and managing water infrastructure, including upgrading sewage treatment works to boost capacity and contaminant removal, reducing overflow spills, and installing new water distribution networks. As Carbon Champion, I support projects in managing embodied carbon and ensuring all processes are followed to minimise it. Working at Stantec has offered a diverse range of projects that keep me engaged and continuously learning.
My Standout project has been a large pipeline development in the South of England. This is a part of a larger pilot scheme that is aimed to allow river abstraction to continue despite lowering river flows by recycling water back into the river. This project has everything, environmental studies, geotechnical, large mechanical elements and very long large pipes. The multi-day pipe walkovers, hydraulics calculations. Civil design has been a perfect blend of technical, theoretical and reality. The scale has made the work very exciting. The work behind making a long-distance pipeline is immense and can only be truly appreciated when you are involved.
