A designer, builder, and problem-solver, Gemma is a Principal Civil Engineer with a career spanning large-scale energy, transport, and urban development projects. With nearly a decade of experience delivering major infrastructure, she maintains that engineering is not just about structures and systems, it’s about protecting communities and shaping human connection. Gemma is an advocate for celebrating the unsung engineering marvels that create safe and sustainable societies, especially in the face of climate change. She works to change the perception of the construction industry through storytelling and hopes to inspire people to see the hidden world of civil engineering as a force for resilience, creativity, and innovation.
Outside of work, Gemma is a devoted dog mum to a cheeky cockapoo, an enthusiastic boxer and runner, and a lifelong bookworm who’s rarely without a good novel or podcast.
