Beate Altreuther
Consulting engineer in the field of transportation acoustics
How did you come to join us?
After studying physics, I was looking for a position in environmental protection where I wouldn’t just be working in a lab, but could also do some hands-on work and spend a bit of time outdoors. A varied role where I could apply my skills.
What exactly do you do at MBBM?
I started at Müller-BBM thirty years ago, initially in the vibrations department. I carried out vibration measurements, for example on railway lines, construction sites, or in industrial plants. I was able to do practical work: driving stakes into the ground, hauling cable drums, mounting sensors (…). That was exactly what I was looking for. Later, I also worked in the areas of environment and transport. For about twenty years now, I’ve been working in the field of noise-reducing road surfaces. I conduct measurements with this trailer here (points to trailer), which are related to traffic noise investigations.
“I’ve traveled an incredible amount.”
What do you like most about your work?
The thirty years at Müller-BBM have always been exciting. The tasks were very diverse; every project is different. I’ve traveled an incredible amount—from gold leaf workshops to all kinds of industrial plants, power stations, highway construction sites, and even restoration workshops (…). The assignments were always fascinating.
The second point is interdisciplinary work – always collaborating with other departments. You can ask anyone if you don’t know something. I’ve always found this cross-disciplinary work very exciting.
The third is overall the collegial cooperation – everyone stands up for each other.
Describe MBBM in three words.
For me, Müller-BBM is versatile, innovative, and collegial.
