Bath University student Amelia (Milly) House has received a CECA South West Young Achiever Award for the quality of her work during a placement year in industry. Milly, who is studying for a BEng degree, won the Industrial Placement Award for her performance as a Trainee Contracts Engineer while with Balfour Beatty Ground Engineering. She worked on a variety of projects, including acting as a Site Engineer at HS2’s Old Oak Common in West London, which is set to become the largest new railway station ever built in the UK. Through Balfour Beatty, Amelia has been able to begin her Institution of Civil Engineers chartership journey. Indeed, once Amelia completes her BEng degree, Balfour will fund her part-time master’s course through the company’s graduate programme. Speaking at the presentation event in Torquay, Phil Ramsden, Chair, CECA South West, said: “Amelia has made a fantastic start to her career in civil engineering construction and there is little doubt that a bright future awaits her”.
The CECA South West Young Achiever Awards are presented annually in recognition of exceptional performance, with each winner receiving a trophy and cheque for £500.
