Project Description
Malika Alimzhanova
Fire Engineer
MSc Fire Safety Engineering, IMFSE; BSc Marine Engineering, Kazakh-British Technical University
Where did you start out your career?
I am just starting my career in fire engineering, but I have some earlier experience in marine and process engineering.
Why did you choose a career in fire engineering?
During my apprenticeship time at sea, I realized how complex the fire phenomenon is and how important fire safety is; especially when you are in the middle of an ocean and can rely only on yourself.
What appealed about Semper?
Having some experience with big companies, I wanted to join a relatively smaller and less “corporate” business, where you can easily interact with colleagues and be actively involved in the end-to-end processes.
What’s your biggest achievement?
I believe my biggest achievement is yet to come, but by now is getting scholarships for both of my degrees and crossing the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.
What would be your dream project to work on?
My dream project would be bringing fire safety engineering to my home country.
