Yvonne started work in 2001 as a consultant with Atkins. During a site placement at Westfield Shopping Centre, she decided she belonged in the contractor’s world and remained working for Cementation, and she progressed to Section Manager before taking up a role as Design Team Leader.  

After a short career break, she joined BAUER where she progressed from Project Manager to Construction and Technical Director. During this time, she was involved in extremely challenging projects including the construction of the D-shaped pile.  

In 2016, Yvonne set up her own business, ATD Engineering.  Since then, she has worked on other interesting projects such as London City Airport, Thames Tideway and Gothenburg Central Station. Between 2017 and 2019, she worked as General Manager for JRL Civil Engineering.  In September 2019, Yvonne joined Gavin and Doherty Geosolutions as London based Director. Within the industry, she is known as a strong leader with a passion for the practical application of geotechnical engineering and her attention to detail.
