Cobb was a STEM Ambassador early in her career, volunteering in schools and writing in the national press. She won the ACE's Young Consultant of the Year, 2007 for having published a core industry textbook before age 35 and being a notable woman in a male-dominated profession; the NCE/ACE judges citation said that "her belief in communicating the importance of the role of engineers in society is an example to all, as is the time she spends educating young people about why engineering is fun".

She has been a Conservation Accredited Engineer since 2009 and established Cobb & Company in 2019.
