Jana Heymann
Civil engineer Jana Heymann is division manager for infrastructure and geotechnical engineering in our Berlin office. Her areas of expertise include mining and discontinued mines, as well as civil and structural engineering. She is currently managing stability planning in a project to convert the disused Konrad iron ore mine into a final repository for radioactive waste with negligible heat generation. In addition, Jana Heymann analyses stability in abandoned mines and has also planned excavation pits for various building projects in Berlin, Konstanz, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf.
Jana Heymann enjoys the technical challenges that come with working at a large engineering company like CDM Smith. Complex and unique projects raise her curiosity and provide a source of inspiration. A structured and well-organised approach to her work is essential to her. She aims to pass on her enthusiasm and motivation to her team, especially when tackling challenging tasks.
Her advice to young engineers: "Once you’ve graduated, it’s essential to gain practical experience on construction sites - and ideally abroad. Only then you can develop tailored solutions."
If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got - Henry Ford
