Inspiring the next generation of engineers
Our Preston & South Ribble Flood Risk Management Scheme team recently visited Runshaw College as part of its Industry Week, speaking to around 40 first-year T Level Engineering students about the Preston & South Ribble Flood Risk Management Scheme.
One of our Senior Engineers shared an insight into life on a major flood risk management project, from the scheme’s objectives and construction challenges to the solutions helping us overcome them. Students also heard about the many different roles and skills that come together to successfully deliver a project of this scale.
It was fantastic to see so much curiosity in the room, with questions covering everything from degree apprenticeships and working alongside local communities to social value and the representation of women in the industry.
A huge thank you to Runshaw College and all the students who joined us. We hope the session has inspired more young people to consider a rewarding career in engineering and construction.
