What do you like about working at CampbellReith?

When I finished University, I struggled to not only secure a Graduate position but to even be offered any work experience. CampbellReith responded positively to my request for experience and offered me an initial three-month placement which was very enjoyable and led to my current role.

Throughout my time at CampbellReith, I have always been offered support to continue my learning, opportunity to be involved in the business and assisted with general career progression. Since I joined, I have seen a number of student placements, whether it be for few days or weeks, across the business and I think it is fantastic that CampbellReith invest time and resource encouraging young people to progress within the fields of science and engineering.

An added benefit, which I had not initially anticipated, is that I have been encouraged to become involved in other aspects of the business, including being an IMS Auditor, part of the Internal Engagement Committee and involvement in Health and Safety / CHAS Accreditation. This is allowing me to develop broader commercial and professional skills alongside my technical training.

Maritta joined CampbellReith in 2020 after achieving a Masters in Soil Mechanics and Engineering Seismology at Imperial College London. She is a Project Geotechnical Engineer in the geotechnical team.

Why does a career in Engineering appeal to you?

Geotechnical Engineering is important because it helps prevent complications before they happen. Without the advanced calculations and testing, buildings could see significant damage after an earthquake, slope stability shifting, ongoing settlement, or other effects.

Geotechnical Engineers should be brought on during the early planning stages of any construction project; doing so will identify and mitigate potential geotechnical hazards. I find it rewarding to be part of a team that takes on complex challenges and successfully identifies and implements solutions to geotechnical hazards. It is fulfilling to be part of a dynamic and vital field that is constantly evolving.
