Talking to Ellie Griffiths - Building Services Engineer - Hoare Lea

42 Roles in the Built Environment - Building Services Engineer

"Be inquisitive, don’t be afraid to ask a stupid question of another discipline. If you don’t know why an MEP engineer is banging on about something, just ask them" - Ellie Griffiths

Ellie is a Senior Associate at Hoare Lea, specialising in Building Services design and leading multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver a range of exciting buildings. These teams/services involve not only mechanical, electric and public health (MEP) services, but also sustainability, fire, acoustics, vertical transportation, air quality, lighting, ICT and intelligent buildings. Her key focusses are operational and embodied carbon reduction and finding pathways to the rightly reducing carbon level targets. 

Ellie is passionate about diversity, equity and inclusion and the benefits it brings to individuals and the workplace. Outside of work Ellie loves the mountains and most activities involving them, a little contrary given she hates the cold and is scared of heights!
