Nottingham Express Transit Tram Technical Manager, Laura Bartram, has been recognised as a rising star in the European transport sector after winning an award at the European Mobility Exhibition in Paris.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Laura won the Best Young Talent Award at the award ceremony which brings together thousand of transport professionals from across the continent.<\/p>\n
Laura joined the NET team in 2019 having previously served in the Army as an aircraft technician for six years. She is now responsible for managing a multi million pound contract with Alstom and since starting at NET has completed a HNC and a HND in Engineering and is now studying for an Honours Degree in Electrical Engineering at Sheffield University.<\/p>\n
Laura said: \u201cI was delighted to be invited to this high-profile event that brings together experts from across Europe to discuss the latest innovations for urban, interurban and regional transport, as well as green modes of travel. To hear that I would also be receiving an award was a huge surprise, and I would like to thank NET for nominating me for the accolade, and for supporting my career development. I hope this inspires other young women to see Engineering as a viable career path in what is traditionally a male dominated profession.\u201d<\/p>\n
As part of her role, Laura has taken the lead of managing a project to design and install the very latest safety systems on Nottingham\u2019s trams with any interruptions in service. The project was delivered on time and within budget.<\/p>\n
Neil Cundy, NET Head of Engineering, said: \u201c\u201cIn addition to managing this complex project to the very highest standards, Laura is also very active within the tram community, attending various cross-industry working groups, and has also represented NET at a major Women in Rail conference. A highly regarded and valued member of our own team, she really is a rising star of the light rail sector!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
