Ævar Valgeirsson
Site inspections nerd - with a passion for antique sewer pipes.
With a keen eye for detail, Ævar ensures that structures and urban spaces - above and below ground - aren’t just built, but built right. From checking materials to making cities safer and more accessible, he’s the behind-the-scenes hero keeping everything on track.
For Ævar, the devil is definitely in the detail, and his passion for the overlooked doesn’t stop when the workday ends. Watch the video to see why he’s still searching for fellow INGENØRDs who share his enthusiasm for antique sewer pipes.
INGENØRD [enɕəˈnɶɐ̯ˀd]: An honorary title for people who enjoy immersing themselves in professional or personal passions, a trait that can generate a never-ending train of thought or result in constant attempts to discover connections and solve problems – which often leads to heated conversations with other 'ingenørds'. Often, but not necessarily, they have a degree in engineering.
