“I am passionate about giving back to the community and having a positive impact on others”.

At Beca, Emma works across a range of projects and has been leading particularly in the Sustainability and Project space. Most recently, she’s worked as the Sustainability Lead for Transport and Infrastructure, leading our teams to design and deliver sustainable projects across Beca.

Some of her notable projects include the Tāmaki Drive Northern Footpath project with Auckland Transport and May Road Development with May 1 Limited. She’s also worked as the Civil Design Lead for AUT’s A1 Building with Auckland University of Technology, Northern Footpath Land Portion with Waka Kotahi, Waikato R2R with Watercare and many others.

“I am excited about the future opportunities for my career and to continue my commitment to the engineering profession.”
