Electrical Engineer
After graduating from university in Brazil in 2016, Josi decided to move back to the UK and actively pursued a career in the field, progressing from Junior Electrical Engineer to her current position of Electrical Engineer.
She has been part of the RHB team for 7 years and her role includes developing detailed drawings, specifications, and schedules for various electrical systems.
What do you like most about your job?
The best part of my job is seeing my designs come to life and contributing with solutions to everyday challenges in construction. Overcoming barriers and paving the way for diversity in a male dominated field has been a rewarding aspect of my journey.

Why do you like working at RHB?
RHB is constantly supporting my career development giving me the opportunities for training and growth. I work with a great group of people with strong team spirit, making every challenge easier to overcome.
What are your hobbies?
I like paddleboarding on the Hamble River when the weather is nice. I also love cooking, especially BBQs and I always end up making way too much food, so I am always hosting my family.
I also enjoy spending time with my husband Stuart and our dog Popeye. We like taking Popeye on long walks and exploring new places. At the moment we're trying to train him to join us on the paddleboard, but we haven't had much success yet!
Who is your favourite cartoon character?
I named my dog after one of my favourite cartoon characters, Popeye.
What is something that you would really love to do?
I am not really into cars, but I always wanted to drive a big truck. There’s something about experiencing the power and being in control of a big vehicle that grabs my attention.
Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is an ancient form of surfing and has roots dating back thousands of years. It originated in Polynesia and was primarily used as a means of transportation and fishing. Today, it has evolved into a popular water sport enjoyed by people all around the world.
