Jessica Bohorquez

Have you ever thought about how water reaches your shower every morning? There is a complete industry behind ensuring that water is available for everyone! I’m passionate about creating water curiosity and solving our water challenges. I’m a water engineer delivering infrastructure projects for private organisations, water utilities and government. I develop numerical models of water systems and design solutions that prepare us for a future where water might become more scarce. Dividing my time as a Senior Consultant at Ricardo plc, as a volunteer for the Australian Water Association and more recently as the Founder and Host of Our Water Connection – a water industry podcast. I have built my career around discipline, effective engineering, research communication and empathy. I firmly believe in the importance of working together, including professionals from STEM careers, to tackle the water industry’s future challenges and I trust that these values will guide me in a complex and dynamic sector. I’m hard-working, authentic and passionate about understanding and communicating the value of water. I’m on a journey to share knowledge about the water industry with a broader audience.
