Water Engineering

As we venture into AMP8, we recognise that it will come with its own set of unique challenges. However, we firmly believe that the key to overcoming these challenges lies in collaboration across the industry and developing long-term relationships.”

Lindsey Russell, UK Water Director

What excites me is knowing that the result of the work I do is cleaner waterways, safer water supplies and a more robust water network for our growing and developing communities. I also enjoy the problem solving aspect of the role, often we have to put in new equipment and new process whilst maintaining the existing and this brings up unique challenges that we as designers then have to overcome.
