Harry Mansfield promoted to Principal Flood Risk Consultant
Create are pleased to announce the promotion of Harry Mansfield to Principal Flood Risk Consultant.
Harry has been an integral part of our Water & Flood Risk team since joining us in 2023. With over five years’ professional experience in flood risk and water management, he has already made significant contributions to projects across the UK including Natural Flood Management mitigation modelling.
Harry is well regarded for his technical expertise, modelling capability and problem-solving skills. He has supported a wide range of complex flood risk assessments and water management schemes. As an outstanding hydraulic modeller, he has detailed knowledge of coding and extensive experience with software packages including TUFLOW, HEC-RAS, Flood Modeller, QGIS, ArcGIS, and MapInfo to bring a river or tidal pattern alive in software.
Recently, Harry has taken on Project Lead responsibilities for several Local Resource Option (LRO) screening studies in collaboration with the Environment Agency, demonstrating his ability to manage technically challenging projects with confidence. These projects look to work with agricultural abstractors across large areas to create supply resilience and diversification in the face of climate change and potential reductions to abstraction licences.
“Harry uses his initiative to solve challenges himself, which has resulted in some industry changing hydraulic modelling solutions. This has made him an incredibly efficient and effective consultant, capable of providing specialist advice whilst also being able to negotiate and overcome flood and water related challenges that our projects face. He is a great asset, not just to our team but also our business. I’m excited to continue building our capabilities together.”
Claire Burroughs, Technical Director
In his new role as Principal Flood Risk Consultant, Harry will take on greater responsibility in leading project workstreams, mentoring junior colleagues, and helping to shape our flood risk offering as part of Create’s continued growth.
Please join us in congratulating Harry on this important step in his career.
