The Technical Director for Diversity and Inclusion was named among a prestigious list of women chosen by Inclusive Boards, in partnership with the Financial Times.
With over 25 years' experience in Engineering spanning across three continents, Helen has spent 10 years at Amey involved in ground engineering and the last two championing the important subject of diversity and inclusion.
She is currently leading Amey's transformation project to embed the culture of inclusion across all aspects of Amey Consulting's business and change the dial towards gender parity while improving aspects of attraction, retention and recruitment of a diverse workforce making Amey a safe and fair place to work.

Commenting on her recognition, Helen said: "I am delighted and flattered to have been selected for this year's Inclusive Boards and Financial Times: 100 Most Influential Women in Engineering. I am proud to be an advocate for the varied and rewarding career opportunities the Engineering sector provides and working at Amey has created an opportunity to challenge 'conventional' thinking within engineering design, ensuring respect for all employee contributions.
"Diversity and Inclusion are at the heart of what we do at Amey and it is gratifying for me to be able to encourage more women into Engineering and help bust myths about the sector. As a STEM Ambassador along with 200+ others at Amey, we are inspiring the next generation of engineers by encouraging girls and people from diverse backgrounds to take up a career in Engineering."
Patrick Clarke, Director of Network Operations at UK Power Networks and judge for the list, added: "I am personally inspired but not at all surprised by the tremendous talent on the Women in Engineering list. Sadly, there are still plenty of people who will be surprised due to a mind-set which says Engineering equals males not females. I took part as a judge because I wanted to be inspired."
