Lily is passionate about delivering projects that transform customer experiences and deliver innovative solutions for clients in the transportation sector.

Lily studied MEng Civil Engineering and graduated with First Class Honours in 2016. Whilst at university, she received a scholarship through the Institution of Civil Engineers/University of Surrey Scholarship scheme, gaining 18 months of industry experience with a major engineering consultancy, with overseas visits in the North America, Middle East and Asia Pacific regions.

After graduating, Lily pursued her interest in the transportation sector, successfully delivering solutions for aviation clients and their local communities in and around London. This included supporting the design through to installation on site in challenging timeframes to deliver an innovative monitoring trial at a major UK airport, and achieving consistent project delivery and local authority approval of environmental schemes in the surrounding community.

In 2019 Lily joined Transport for London, leading projects supporting the modernisation of Rolling Stock to deliver improved reliability, environmental benefits and transformative customer experiences for London Underground. Whilst leading a multi-disciplinary team she identified an opportunity to pull-forward critical scope without return-to-service constraints, which received endorsement from London Underground’s Executive Committee in 2020. Alongside her project management roles, Lily has supported the roll-out of training courses for her colleagues; digitally upskilling her project team and promoting TfL’s environmental commitments and sustainability initiatives as part of an award-winning Safety Foundation Course. Lily has also been recognised with awards for her contributions to building a more inclusive workplace, supporting junior colleagues, and improving safety and security across the business.

Lily is currently working as a Project Manager for London Trams, responsible for leading the development of a portfolio of asset renewals projects across a range of infrastructure asset types. She was recently announced as the winner of a competition seeking ideas to support passenger recovery across London’s transport network, gaining the backing of senior leaders in a “Dragons’ Den” style pitch.

Outside of work, Lily is a passionate STEM ambassador and a member of the University of Surrey’s Civil Engineering Industrial Advisory Board, a role in which she contributes to taught content evaluation and informs strategic changes to undergraduate degree programmes to better suit the future needs of industry.
