The winner of the Young Environmental Engineer of the Year for 2011 is James Regan, BSc(Hons), MSc, MSEE, CEnv, a senior geo-environmental engineer with Sirius Midlands. The award is made annually to an engineer under 35 years of age who has made a significant contribution to environmental engineering. James Regan's submission described turning a vacant and derelict brownfield site into a safely habitable site. He said: "The majority of work undertaken by geo-environmental engineers involves the assessment, investigation and remediation/reclamation of sites which have been damaged and contaminated by historical industrial activities. Within any typical week, my work takes me through a range of tasks including environmental survey inspections, site audits, site inves- tigations, risk assessments and meetings with regulators.
