My name is Sotira Georgiou and I am a Structural Engineer at Ramboll UK with five years of experience in the construction sector.
In 2013, I graduated with First-Class in B.Eng. (Hons) Civil Engineering and in 2014 I graduated with a Distinction in M.Sc. Civil Engineering both from the University of Southampton. I am a co-author of a paper in International Conference on Advanced Composites in Construction (ACIC2013).
For the past five years I have been a valued member of Ramboll Southampton Building Structures Team. I have a lead structural role within multidisciplinary teams, designing buildings in the UK and abroad and managing the delivery of the structural design. My experience involves conceptual and detailed design of new buildings (including multi-storey mixed use, retail and offices), refurbishment of existing structures, structural surveys and seismic design. I will be sitting the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Chartered Professional Review in April 2019.
I am the Lead of Ramboll UK STEM Network as part of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and a passionate and enthusiastic STEM Ambassador with an active role of inspiring the younger generation on the importance of STEM subjects.
