Executive Engineers’ Programme Case Study: Rob Harding Rob Harding joined Arup as a Geotechnical & Tunnelling Engineer in September 2006 having studied at the University of Bristol for 4 years. He graduated with a 1st class honours MEng degree in Civil Engineering. Since joining Arup, Rob has been seconded to the Atkins and Arup joint venture team working on the Crossrail Project. As part of this team Rob is contributing to the design of a new railway route through London (West-East) from Maidenhead and Heathrow via Paddington (& Central London) to the East. Specifically Rob is responsible for the provision of all tunnels and shafts at Tottenham Court Road Station. Potentially a £7.2 billion infrastructure scheme, Crossrail is going through Parliament in order to obtain authority to build the infrastructure link. Rob commented as follows on his attendance as a Year 1 participant in 2006: “The first year laid a firm foundation for both educational and professional career development, concentrating on change within organisations and leadership. These sessions aimed at both an individual level and organisational level, from setting out personal objectives to influencing the work environment. They focussed on the need for engineering companies to constantly change, preparing for new challenges and enacting successful change. The weekend was an excellent opportunity to mix with staff of the Academy and Fellows of both the Academy and Sainsbury Management Fellows’ Society. All participants’ profiles were distributed before the event, and I benefited from advice and feedback about my area from a number of people. It was great to socialise with a highly motivated peer group, all of whom wanted to achieve chartered status quickly and talk about experiences, which across such a multi-disciplinary group was invaluable.”
