Across our Group, we have a number of Environmental Advisors who make sure we’re protecting the environment and communities that we work in.

At M Group Energy, our Environmental Advisor (Ecology) Rebecca Dickson has worked to protect various bird species that we encounter while undertaking work on pylons.

I’m excited that I get to apply my enthusiasm to our projects across England and Scotland. Our work on overhead power lines and substations is essential for keeping the lights on, but it’s equally important that we protect the environment and wildlife in the areas where we work.

I work closely with our site teams to improve strategies for reducing our environmental impact and enjoy conducting onsite training. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the team’s enthusiasm for wildlife grow as they learn more about the creatures we’re working to project.

One of our recent projects, the ZA Overhead Power Line Route refurbishment showcased how we can balance infrastructure upgrades with wildlife conservation. We identified Curlew nesting sites near our work area on Lauder common.

To protect them, we used innovative dissuasion techniques to encourage nesting away from our site. I’m proud that alongside our ongoing maintenance works, two Curlew pairs successfully bred and fledged chicks.

As we look to the future, I’m excited about the potential to further bring wildlife conservation into our infrastructure projects. It’s not always easy, and we face challenges every day, but the rewards of seeing wildlife thrive alongside our work make it all worthwhile. It’s a responsibility I take seriously and a mission that seems to offer new challenges and rewards every day.

ESG drivers shape our sector, driving innovation to tackle client challenges.
