Dr Karsten Menschner

For Karsten Menschner, Applied Geophysics is one of the most versatile fields of study. As a doctor Geophysics, he specialises in investigating and assessing contaminated sites and developing innovative remediation solutions. Since 2015, he has also served as a board member of the Engineering Association for Rede­vel­ope­ment and Remediation (ITVA).

Karsten Menschner highlights the unique value CDM Smith brings to its clients: "We have direct access to in-house specialists across nearly every field, which allows us to provide a wide variety of high-quality services. Our deep understanding of the market and ability to think creatively enable us to deliver the best possible solutions while prioritizing sustainable development. Clients notice and appreciate this difference." Reflecting on client feedback, he shares one remark that particularly resonated: "CDM Smith might come at a price, but they deliver professional excellence with an impressive range of expertise. They are always up to date on the latest developments and consistently find the best solutions, no matter how complex the challenge. That’s why we continue to trust them."

When asked about something surprising in his background, Karsten reveals with a smile: "I came close to being a movie star—as a child voiceover actor for Deutsche Film AG (DEFA)."
