Bridges Beyond Borders: A Journey with Engineers in Action with Brittany Margritz

Did you know you can use your civil engineering knowledge to make an impact in underserved communities…while traveling abroad? 🤔 Today I interviewed Brittany Margritz from Engineers in Action (EIA), who leads the program that builds pedestrian footbridges in these communities. In this episode, she dives into the work that EIA does, how it works, and how you can join them to go abroad to help build things too, from bridges to water facilities to sewers…you name it! 😉


Tune in to Learn:

  • The work Engineers in Action (EIA) does to help underserved communities abroad

  • From bridges to water: the different types of work you can do at EIA

  • How engineering students, practicing professionals, and firms can join EIA

  • The technical and cultural prep that volunteers need before traveling to EIA's projects

  • How EIA gets approval from local officials...and where funding comes from

  • Brittany's role at EIA and her four-year experience working in Eswatini, Africa

  • How she managed to balance work and life living abroad

  • Her best advice for young engineers to build a career (and life) they enjoy
