Harry is a Chartered Civil Engineer, specialising in geotechnics, and holds an integrated Master’s degree in Civil and Structural Engineering from the University of Leeds. He has focused on geotechnical design for multi-disciplinary infrastructure projects.
After graduating, Harry spent four years specialising in the design and construction of earthworks, soil nails, retaining walls, and foundations. He was also responsible for producing geotechnical desk studies, ground investigation specifications, and geotechnical interpretive reports. During this period, he developed particular expertise in the design of shallow and piled foundations, contributing to major projects such as High Speed 2 and the A12 Chelmsford to A120 Widening Scheme.
In 2023, Harry joined the Earth Structures and Geotechnical Engineering department at Transport for London (TfL), where he gained experience in the assessment and remediation of railway earthworks and retaining walls. Notably, he contributed to the Piccadilly Line Upgrade, undertaking the design of earthworks, piled foundations, and both sheet pile and gravity retaining walls.
Harry has also undertaken site-based roles, supervising construction and ground investigation works for highways and rail projects. Most recently, he oversaw the construction of CFA piles for step-free access works at Leyton Station. In addition, he has carried out geotechnical asset inspections for National Highways and TfL, assessing asset condition and informing remediation strategies. This work has supported the development of asset management pipelines and the prioritisation of renewal works.
Harry joined Hawkins in January 2026 as an Associate, based in our London Office.
