Get to know Grace

What do you like doing most in your current role?

I enjoy learning the new simulation software and applying theory to real-life applications. I like the variety of being on-site and in the office, as it allows me to see projects come to life.

Why do you love working at RHB?

I love the variety of projects I work on; every project is entirely different. RHB is incredibly supportive of career progression and growth opportunities. I plan on obtaining my LCIBSE before progressing to more advanced certifications.

There’s a huge family vibe at RHB. Everyone is so friendly and sociable. It feels like the company genuinely cares about you as a person, not just a professional.

What do you like doing outside of work?

I’m a huge motorsport fan and love watching touring cars and F1. Music is also a massive part of my life, so you’ll often find me at gigs or festivals in the summer.  I love socialising with friends at the pub with a pint. And when I get the chance to travel, I love to scuba-dive and hike.

What will you do if you win £50k?

I’d love to go to South America, so I’d pay for my nearest and dearest to come on a big trip with me.

Or I’d buy my dream campervan! Maybe put some money towards a house (…if I’m being sensible).

What is something unusual you always wanted to do and why?

I’ve been diving with sharks, but I’d love diving with killer whales in Norway. They’re beautiful animals!
