What inspired you to choose a career in engineering?
“I’ve had an interest in the offshore industry for as long as I can remember, particularly subsea engineering, and I was curious as to how different subsea equipment worked for their specific purpose.”
How has STR supported your skill development and career progression?
“The STR Academy competency programme in particular has been brilliant for my training and development, and the skills I have gained over the last five years will be integral for my next role within the company. As I’ve now completed the required elements for Survey Technician Grade 1, I’m working towards the next step in my career which is becoming a Survey Engineer.”
What opportunities has STR provided for expanding your knowledge of the energy and marine industries?
“STR has provided me with incredible opportunities to grow and excel within the industry, as well as work with a variety of diverse subsea survey equipment.
“Being able to test and maintain this wide range of equipment in our rental pool – as well as mobilising, troubleshooting, and maintaining equipment offshore – has given me great exposure to both sides of the workshop. and various offshore elements within the industry.”
What advice would you give to someone looking to start a career in engineering?
