Technical challenges and a business to be passionate about

After graduating from ENGREF in 2006, I was hired as a Project Engineer by Safege in December of that year. Since then, I've worked on three very different wastewater studies, with totally different contexts and characteristics. What interests me about the project-centred approach is that you're able to see the assignment as a whole rather that just dealing with a specific part in isolation from the rest. For the moment I love the technical aspect.

Whether you're an engineer or a technician, you don't end up this business by accident. It's not a job you do for the money. You don't do traipsing around sewers for example if you don't get something out of working for the environment - if you have no interest in this business.
Working nights and early starts are part of the job and the conditions can be quite tough. But how well we do our field work will affect the quality of what the engineer does afterwards. I'm lucky to be in a job I do for the love it.
