CIBSE YEN ANZ | Young Engineers Awards

James Wahbe has taken on one of the most pressing questions in building services today: how do we design systems that are ready for disruption?

His submission explores the idea of readiness, the ability of a building to adapt, endure, and respond. It’s a timely and thoughtful reflection, grounded in real project experience. Drawing from his work on lightning protection systems at Rhodes, James makes a clear case for placing readiness at the centre of future-focused design.

At Goldfish & Bay, we’ve seen James approach every challenge with focus, clarity, and drive. It’s no surprise to see him contributing to this wider conversation, representing our team and engaging seriously with the future of the profession.

Well done James.
