Fatima Jirrane
Risk, Reliability and Maintenance Engineer
An ambitious engineer, Fatima Jirrane is part of the Risk, Reliability and Maintenance (RRM) team at BV Solutions M&O. She collaborates with her dynamic team to provide valuable support to her clients and manage a broad range of projects.
Fatima spoke with us about why BV Solutions M&O is the right fit for her, and how important it is to attract more young people to the marine and offshore industry.
What did you do before joining BV Solutions M&O?
I come from a family in the maritime business, so a career in the marine and offshore industry seemed a natural choice. I qualified as a Naval Architect in 2018 and actually worked for Bureau Veritas previously, in the Design Assessment department. I started out as a Safety Engineer before being promoted to New Fuels Technical Project Leader in 2021. This was the perfect springboard to my current role with BV Solutions M&O.
What has been your favorite project to work on so far?
I’m only at the beginning of my journey with BV Solutions M&O, but I’ve already had the chance to participate in some fascinating projects. I’m particularly enjoying working on modelling and quantitative analysis. I appreciate that I can go at my own pace, and my colleagues are always there to support me. Despite being a relatively new risk engineer, I have the same opportunities as my colleagues to get involved with exciting projects.
