Claire Young
Associate and Sustainability Lead
I joined Civic Engineers as a graduate engineer in September 2016. I have a passion for many areas of civil and structural engineering including structural design, environmental conservation and sustainable drainage design.
During my summers at university I worked for the consultant WSP which gave me valuable work experience and a proper insight into the professional world. So far at Civic Engineers I have worked on a broad range of projects from alterations to historic listed buildings through to public realm improvements and education buildings. I am a keen sketcher and pride myself on creating clear and informative drawings that convey designs, ideas and complex details.
In my free time I have a variety of hobbies to keep me entertained. My main loves are acro-yoga, climbing, sailing, music and dance. In the winter you’ll also find me in the Alps, raring down the slopes as I grew up in Switzerland and go back whenever I can. My guitar Amber has been with me since I started university and I perform with her whenever I can and write most of my songs in her company.
