Katy Toms

Senior Engineer in Exeter

I am a chartered engineer and currently work for WSP as a Senior Engineer in Exeter. Most of my career has been based in the South West where I have been able to work on incredible projects including the Derriford Hospital Helipad in Plymouth. I am extremely passionate about inclusivity and diversity within construction and recognise its value in addressing the challenges of the future. I believe that I lead by example with my positive attitude, married with technical competency and energy; these attributes make me determined to be a voice in the construction industry, with a chance to positively influence the way it is viewed, particularly by women and the younger generation. I spend my spare time trying to make a difference, whether this is through STEM talks at school, meetings with the WI hosting them on site visits to running the ‘Civil Engineering Extravaganza’ with the ICE in the South West.
