'My name is Robyn and I am a Mechanical Engineer in Energy Water and Resources in Leeds. I joined Arup 5 years ago as I was impressed with the company’s commitments to delivering sustainable design that benefits our communities. Being born and bred in West Yorkshire I was particularly interested in the work Arup had done for Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme that protects our city centre.

My focus is the water sector which includes both clean and wastewater treatment, flood alleviation and even hydropower projects. The work I am most proud of is when I have worked with water companies to find the root cause behind wastewater spills and design ways to reduce these pollution events.

The best part of working at Arup is the breadth of skills and disciplines our colleagues have in science and engineering. Our projects truly are multi-disciplinary, and no project is ever really the same as the ones before!'
