Brighton Council is excited to introduce Leenah Ali-Lavroff as its Senior Project Engineer. Leenah is a Brighton local who loves living and working in a community that she describes as friendly, relaxed and a great place to raise her two young kids.

Leenah graduated as one of only seven female engineering students in her cohort at the University of Tasmania. Since then, she has worked as an engineer for both council and private firms, with a special interest in road and traffic engineering.

As Senior Project Engineer, Leenah is helping to deliver capital works projects for the council. This includes seeing projects through from the concept stage to the design and build stages, until project completion.

One project Leenah is working on is the new Bridgewater Youth Hub. This is a space that will be created by young people for young people, with a particular focus on Tasmanian Aboriginal youth and their families. Leenah is excited to see how the input from young people in the community will shape what is designed and built.

Leenah enjoys working for Brighton Council because she gets the opportunity to be involved with lots of different projects and says it’s a friendly environment where everyone knows each other. Leenah is one of the many staff at Council working in the background to make the Brighton municipality a better place to live, work and play.
