Mohammed Sathaliawala’s career journey demonstrates how curiosity and a willingness to learn can open new opportunities. After completing his bachelor’s degree, Mo began his career as a Project Engineer on site. Working closely with structural engineers sparked an interest in the design side of engineering and inspired him to further his studies with a master’s degree. This pivotal decision enabled him to transition into structural design and pursue the career path he had envisioned.
Joining CampbellReith as a Graduate Engineer, Mo has continued to develop his skills in a supportive environment where collaboration and knowledge sharing are encouraged. His growth and commitment have seen him progress to the role of Structural Engineer.
“There were often differences between what was on the drawings and what was happening on site because of real-world constraints. I wanted to understand how those design decisions were made.”
Reflecting on his experience, Mo encourages early career professionals to be proactive, ask questions and seek out opportunities to take on new responsibilities.
“Don’t be shy about asking questions. It really helped me develop. I actively looked for projects to get involved in and asked for more responsibility.”
Mo also believes that strong communication skills are essential for career progression, helping engineers to effectively collaborate with clients, project teams and other stakeholders as they advance in their careers.
