Jennifer Haigh
Jennifer is an engineer who works for Veolia, the world’s largest environmental services provider, providing water, energy, and waste treatment solutions for both municipal and industrial clients. Jennifer’s career spans over fifteen years comprising work in England, HK, Australia, and China. She obtained a MEng in the field of Environmental, Mining and Petroleum Engineering from Imperial College London and started her career in Asset Management, for the regulated water business in England.
She moved to Asia over ten years ago where she worked on O&G water treatment projects in Australia and China. In the past few years she moved into a commercial role and is now Business Development Manager, Asia, responsible for developing new projects with strategic key account clients to design and deliver industrial water and wastewater treatment solutions. This has included leading the tender management of some of the largest bids in Asia-Pacific in the past 10 years, ranging from industrial water and wastewater treatment design- build - operate (DBO) contracts, to desalination contracts.
Jennifer has been involved with IOM3 for over twenty years, starting as IOM3 Student Representative at Imperial College, London in 2000. Since 2016 she has been a member of the IOM3 HK Branch Council and in 2020, she was voted as Honorary Secretary of the IOM3 HK Branch Council. In 2022 she was elected President of the IOM3 HK Branch Council and is the first female in both roles. Jennifer has also been awarded a CEng, CEnv and FIMMM during her career and membership of IOM3.
The IOM3 Women in Materials, Minerals & Mining Group (WIM3) was established in 2012 to provide a focus for women members within IOM3 and help support them in their careers. Since then, WIM3 has organised a series successful events around the UK that have attracted women members at all stages of their career and provided valuable networking opportunities for women. We regularly organise a networking event to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) on 23 June each year.
