Incoming Chair of ICE East of England Early Careers Network (ECNet)

I am Sharafiab, a Graduate Structural Engineer at Mott MacDonald with two years of industry experience working on a range of projects, from offices to infrastructure. I was previously the Learning and Development Lead for the ICE East of England ECNet, where I organised events including a construction site visit to the Botanic Place development in Cambridge and a talk from a University of Cambridge academic on the latest advancements in digital twin technology.

I hope to continue the work ECNet has done in developing its members. My aim is to help strengthen professional networks across the region through engaging events, while also organising greater collaboration with other ECNets. I look forward to working with organisations across the region to create opportunities that benefit our members and make a positive impact on the industry as a whole.
