A former University of Bristol Engineering Design student, Hayley Sharp is one of six young engineers to be chosen by incoming President Barry Clarke of the Institution of Civil Engineers.Hayley who now does water resource modelling for Southern Water Services is quoted by the nce (New Civil Engineer) as saying "All projects have a tension between their technical requirements, cost and environmental impact. While engineers are not necessarily the key decision makers, through understanding a project’s context, they are increasingly able to provide well-reasoned information and help the client make informed decisions on high-level issues. I believe that as engineers, it is our responsibility to stay informed, up-to-date, and aware of sustainability issues - and ensure we use our knowledge to support the design and implementation of projects."
