My career
The summer after my placement, I returned to Leonardo Helicopters UK as a sub-contractor safety engineer. This helped me get into the Sellafield Ltd Safety Case Graduate scheme as it meant I had already completed much of the required work, just on a different platform. This gave me a unique perspective compared to others applying for the role.
I learnt a lot about communicating with engineers on placement and many of the soft skills I use on a daily basis at work I learnt from previous roles as a kayaking coach and instructor and through leadership positions within the Royal Navy Reserves which I will be able to transfer to my graduate role.
I am excited to regain the work-life balance and move to somewhere new and meet lots of new people and work in a sector of engineering that I love.
