Birmingham based Engineer joins National Infrastructure advisory panel
WSP principal engineer Alison Caldwell is to become a member of the National Infrastructure Commission’s new Young Professionals Panel (YPP).
This new initiative from the Commission, the independent body tasked with advising government on the UK’s long-term infrastructure, aims to ensure a strong voice for the next generation of infrastructure leaders for the country. The Panel will support the Commission across a wide range of infrastructure programmes as well as developing their own ideas to enhance long-term infrastructure for the UK.
Based in WSP’s Birmingham office Alison has been working on large scale water projects in the region including the redevelopment of Longbridge Town Centre where she improved the biodiversity and water quality of the River Rea.
Current projects include water modelling for both HS2 Curzon Street and HS2 Phase 1.
Sir John Armitt, Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission, said:
“The Commission exists to identify what infrastructure the country needs up to 2050. So it’s right we give the next generation of infrastructure leaders a say in our work. I look forward to working with these young professionals, some of whom could end up designing and managing world-leading infrastructure built as a result of Commission recommendations.”
Professor Sadie Morgan, Commissioner and chair of the YPP Selection Panel, said:
“The selection team was blown away by the quality of the short-listed candidates. It was tough choosing from over 500 fantastic entries, but in these sixteen young professionals we have a passionate and diverse group which I hope will inspire the Commission with their creative ideas about the UK’s future infrastructure needs.”
