I’ve always been drawn to the water, enjoying boating, scuba diving, and just being out in the marine environment. That passion led me to study Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture at Webb Institute, where I discovered how much I enjoyed applying math and science to ships and boats.
Leonie Lepple's passion for marine mammals led her to complete an MSc thesis on harbour porpoises, later becoming a marine mammal lecturer aboard an expedition cruise ship in Norway.
I work closely with engineers, project managers, and environmental specialists to ensure offshore and coastal projects, comply with environmental legislation and marine policy.
My team and I are responsible for keeping large mechanical systems operating safely in some of the harshest environments at sea, from subsea drilling and offshore wind installation operations to complex lifting and tooling systems.
