DE Since 1 August, I - Fabian Probst - have been part of the soil and groundwater protection team in Hanover. After getting to know the site as a trainee for four months, the integration went smoothly. The transition from trainee to project employee was therefore an easy one.
In our specialist area, we deal with the investigation and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. My first projects initially involve historical investigations and exploratory investigations, which involve "detective work" to find out where potential contamination may have occurred. These suspicions are then clarified through targeted individual sampling. The possible investigation methods are diverse and range from small pile-drilling and direct-push probing to soil air sampling. In the end, we use the results to create a three-dimensional picture of the damage, which we record in writing in an expert report.
As a trainee at the M&P Group sites in Heidelberg, Leipzig and Hanover, I was able to learn a lot in various specialist areas. For example, I was able to deal with topics such as ground investigations, building pollutants and waste declarations. As the issues we deal with are often interdisciplinary, I assume that I will benefit from this knowledge for a long time to come. Many thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way!
Now I'm looking forward to my time in my new team and to many new challenges!
