Ana Clara, Geophysicist

"I’m intrigued by the ocean, I adore it. In this role I get to spend time with- and learn more about the ocean. Every single day!"

"I used to see Fugro vessels in Guanabara Bay, in Brazil. I always found it a really nice company and fantasised about working for them. After I completed my studies I investigated where I could work and actually got a role as a Geophysicist in Fugro!"

An interesting balance

I spend most of my time in the office. But I feel very happy that every once in a while we get the chance to go onto one of the vessels and face some adventures in the offshore environment. As a Geophysicist I look at the seafloor. Sometimes we get to deploy some equipment from the back deck and other times I will be looking at the screen to check the quality of the data. We do the quality check for the data ourselves as well, and I prepare the maps, which are the final deliverable to the client.

Discussing recent experiences with peers from the U.Gro programme

Every day a new discovery

I am exactly in the place I want to be right now. I know it’s a cliché, but I love my job! Every day is a new discovery for me. I learn or see something new and gain a lot of experience. I have a mentor in Fugro who is not a geophysicist, he has a geo-technical background. I chose him as a mentor because I also want to learn more about geo-technics, after all I am also an engineer. It’s a great way to make sure I keep learning, even outside of the scope of my own work.
