Selina Regamey, Phil Fehse and François Gross have successfully completed the BSc in Wood Technology bachelor degree program this summer. On Friday, October 20, 2023 they were allowed to receive their well-deserved diplomas for graduation at the BFH Architecture, Wood and Construction, Bern. We are proud of you and congratulate you on your graduation. Goodbye BFH - Welcome to professional life!

Muriel Althaus completed a Master's degree in civil engineering at ETH Zurich and did an internship in a Zurich engineering office during her training. She also worked as an assistant at the ETH. We are delighted to have Muriel on our team and look forward to working with her to realize forward-looking and challenging timber construction projects.

We are especially pleased that all three talented newcomers will remain with Timbatec Holzbauingenieure Schweiz AG as competent engineers. In the context of the graduation as well as the professional orientation, we have picked up a few statements from the colleagues about «Timbatec as an employer».

Selina: «TEAMbatec», the good exchange and cooperation at the site and across sites.
