As a alumni student of Nottingham Trent University, Laura was nominated for the award by the university’s Board of Examiners who were extremely impressed by Laura, commending her academic performance and engagement with the Women in Engineering group at the university. This group strives to promote the opportunities that exist for women in construction-related fields and assists undergraduate students in preparing for the world of work.

Laura, who, after graduating from NTU with BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering in July 2015, joined ALE as a Junior Project Engineer and is now based in Perth, Australia. Pleased with her win, she commented: “The award came as a surprise but it was really nice to be recognised for the work I put in during my final year studies and a lovely way to end a great four years at NTU.”

This was the third year that this award has been made by John Pike OBE, Visiting Professor in Civil Engineering at Nottingham Trent University as part of the university’s annual Civil Engineering Students Awards.
