Throughout her career Sharon has worked on a series of multi-million pound projects, that provide services to the people of Nottinghamshire. She loves to have a happy client and to provide a building that is exactly what they want.
She sums up what she does as:
Throughout her career Sharon has worked on a series of multi-million pound projects, that provide services to the people of Nottinghamshire. She loves to have a happy client and to provide a building that is exactly what they want.
When she’s not being an engineer, she loves to be outside, away from technology. Working in the garden, watching a bit of rugby or going on holiday. She loves older buildings, ones that have character and are cosy with a bit of quirkiness.
Sharon doesn’t leave her role completely behind at work – she’s recently renovated her house, from fitting a kitchen to tiling and wallpapering, although she did leave the plumbing to the day job!
She’s appeared on a live recording of a pop concert, and been in the audience for children’s game show, met Toyah and had lots of adventures, some of which scare her now…like paragliding!
Throughout her career Sharon’s enjoyed all of the projects she’s worked on, so doesn’t have a favourite. She feels that Arc are different to other practices because we’re multi-disciplinary and can see a job from inception through to handover. Having a local authority background means the team has a different outlook; they’re not driven by profit, but by delivering sound, appropriate affordable, low maintenance, long lasting jobs that are also visually striking.
She loves working with the rest of the Arc team, working on a variety of jobs with lots of different people and meeting challenges with the support of her colleagues.
Sharon is a valued member of our team and we all look forward to working with her on many more projects in the future.
