Zuzanna Bialkowska awarded ‘Up-and-Coming Fire Engineer’ of the year by The Society of Fire Protection Engineers

We are delighted to announce that Zuzanna Bialkowska, a Graduate Fire Engineer in our Birmingham Fire Safety Consultants team, has been awarded The Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE)’s ‘Up and Coming’ fire engineer for 2022.

It is a fantastic achievement for Zuzanna to be awarded by a world-leading professional society representing fire safety engineering. The SFPE’s mission is to develop engineering best practices and to educate the global fire safety community in order to reduce fire risk.

Zuzanna’s interest in fire safety first began as a young child. Her father was a fire fighter, and her grandfather was Chief Fire Officer in the Polish fire service. Spending time at the fire station is an enjoyable memory from her younger years and has helped fuel her passion and interest in the field.

Alongside working full time with us here at Hydrock, Zuzanna is studying a part-time Fire Safety Engineering master’s degree at the University of Central Lancashire. She is also a proud volunteer for the West Midlands Fire Service in her free time, thoroughly enjoying being able to contribute to help her local community.
