**Sarah Murdoch**
Senior Environmental ConsultantUNITED KINGDOM

### What is your job?

I have been Senior Environmental Consultant for over 3 years and I am
responsible for identifying and managing environmental risks and opportunities.
   I am experienced in working across major rail projects and more recently
working on HS2. 

I have 19 years’ experience in the construction and rail sectors and gained a
wealth of knowledge across both design and on-site works.  This has provided
invaluable when assessing clients needs at design stage and ensuring the smooth
transition to on site works. 

### What do you do at SYSTRA?

My missions at SYSTRA are to continue to monitor environmental protection and
also to educate and promote Sustainability.  I remain committed to ensuring the
business promotes the subjects to its clients and employees and inspires others
to embed sustainability within all its projects and within business practices
itself.

I am also passionate about inspiring younger generations to investigate careers
within environmental protection and sustainability subjects and will continue to
encourage, nurture and motivate young people within the activities I conduct and
colleagues I mentor within the business.

### What are the 3 important qualities or skills in your job?

It’s important to be **adaptable** to client’s requirements, needs and
expectations whilst also being mindful of their milestones and financial
constraints.   

**Authenticity** is essential as its important people see you for who you are
and understand what your qualities and values are.  If both colleagues and
clients know you are dependable and genuine this helps build tangible
relationships and friendships.    

Finally, a **methodical** approach is needed to ensure a planned and controlled
approach to projects ensuring all environmental and sustainability elements can
be considered. 

### Why SYSTRA?

SYSTRA is a multi-disciplinary engineering business and therefore, opportunities
to liaise with other engineering experts presents itself on a daily basis.  This
presents precious possibilities to interact with other professionals and develop
solutions that are suitable to both our clients and the business.
