Community Engagement

Susan Borland (Senior Environmental Scientist) mentored two S2 groups from Hyndland Secondary School. We also hosted the mentees at our offices to experience a STEM workplace. The mentees enjoyed meeting and chatting with some of the team to learn more about their roles and what led them to choose a STEM career.

Mabbett Managing Director, Derek J. McNab had the pleasure of sharing his career journey to become a Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) with the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and Society for the Environment (SocEnv) during a Spotlight Webinar entitled ‘Becoming a Chartered Environmentalist.’

If you are looking to gain CEnv, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Derek for an informal chat. Derek comments, “others did the same for me.”

Isabella Marshall, Project Manager and Senior Geo-Environmental Engineer delivered a guest lecture as part of the Chemical Engineering Degree. Isabella lectured on ‘Contaminated Land Site Assessment and Remediation’ which discussed the Principles of Contaminated Land Risk Assessments, Conceptual Site Models and site investigation and remedial approach.

Our Director of Operations, Andy Lee, was interviewed by the pupils of Primary 6A and 6B of Troon Primary School.  After a short presentation on what an engineer is and does, Andy was put to the test on a range of topics: from climate change to engineering as a career.

International Women in Engineering Day is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate our female process safety, environmental and chemical engineers who design, develop and implement innovative process safety and engineering solutions to assist our clients to reduce risk, improve compliance, save money and achieve their net zero goals.

An integral part of our Women in STEM working group is acting as ambassadors engaging with primary, secondary school and university students to raise awareness of a career in a STEM subject.
