What Their People Say

As a Project Engineer, I get to work on the delivery of a project: monitoring its progress, coordinating activities and resolving problems. I get the opportunity to work with several teams, in the office and on-site.

I can see how much I have grown over the years by working with Glan Agua. Not only have I grown technically, but I also developed several interpersonal skills that have made me a better person. I've evolved from being a shy/quiet girl hiding behind her laptop to a lively woman eager to face challenges on site.

Catarina Pinto – Project Engineer

I began my employment with Glan Agua in 2015 as a Graduate Engineer within the Design and Build Department on the Cavan Waste Water Treatment Plant Upgrade. I then progressed to Project Engineer, joining the National Disinfection Programme with project upgrades completed across Ireland. I have most recently joined the Operations Department, having been appointed Operations Manager of the Roscommon RWSS, PWSS and GWS contracts.

My attained knowledge from the Design and Build Department including conducting WTP assessments, implementing process designs, conducting both water quality laboratory testing and result analysis whilst working with high quality Engineers and Designers have all aided my experience and growth within the company. Glan Agua has allowed me to develop in my career and I am eager to continue to gain further knowledge and experience in my current position. I look forward to what the future brings.
