Commenting on the shortlist, Rodrigo Juarez, a consultant with FOA Consultores in Mexico and the chair of the FIDIC Future Leaders Advisory Council, said: “These FIDIC Future Leaders Awards are absolutely crucial in acknowledging and promoting some of the amazing achievements of future leaders in the consulting engineering industry globally and also in encouraging more participation of future leaders in the FIDIC organisation.
“This year’s crop of entries was the highest number we have ever seen in the awards and I cannot wait to see who is this year’s winner when the announcement is made at FIDIC’s Global Infrastructure Conference 110th Anniversary Gala Dinner in Singapore on 12 September.”
The four shortlisted candidates now have a two-month wait before they discover which one of them will be crowned the winner of the 2023 FIDIC Future Leaders Award.
