Lamb launched and ran Engineers without Borders UK as the CEO.[4] He worked RedR-UK for three years before becoming a trustee in 2011. Lamb is a director of Appropedia Foundation[5][2] and was a trustee for the Centre for Global Equality.[6]

He is an advocate for the local manufacturing of relief goods, having calculated that 40% to 50% of humanitarian aid spending could be saved if they were manufactured local to the emergency.[1] As the engineering adviser for Field Ready[7] Lamb responded to the Haiti earthquake where he used 3D printers to make umbilical chord clamps.[4] Following the Nepal Earthquakes he travelled to Bahrabise and used 3D printers to make components to repair water distribution systems.[7]
