Welcome to Dr Janet Young-

New Director General and Secretary of ICE

12b-1 The ICE is delighted to welcome Dr Janet
Young who begins her role as Director
General and Secretary today. Janet
brings huge experience and insight from
a career with an extensive background in
infrastructure delivery.

She joins the ICE from the Cabinet Office
where she is head of the Government
Property Profession. She has also
been global director of estates for the
British Council, director of estates for
the Ministry of Justice, and head of
asset management in the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office.

A Major Projects Leadership Academy graduate of the Saïd Business School, Young is a fellow of
the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Her PhD, Towards Zero Energy Buildings, looked at the
challenges and solutions for low carbon and energy developments.

"I join at a time when engineers and infrastructure professionals are making a real
impact in shaping a better world,"
said Dr Young

ICE President Keith Howells said: "[Dr Young] brings exactly the skills we need as
the institution, and the wider profession, wrestles with the challenges of net zero, the
delivery of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the practical issues that
our industry faces on a day-to-day basis."
Young will take over from outgoing director general Nick Baveystock, who announced
in April that he will be leaving the Institution after a decade in the job.

Nick added: “It has been a huge honour and a very personal privilege for me to serve
in what I have always believed to be one of the most rewarding appointments in
engineering."
