When did you join LRW?
In 2022, I joined straight from University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, with control systems.
What made you apply for the role?
The Calibration Engineer role combined all the facets of engineering that I really enjoyed at University, so that was a big draw for me. I also wanted to work somewhere where I was really connected to the end product and could get involved with meaningful projects.
What’s it like to work at LRW?
I feel very privileged to be part of the team here, they’re a great bunch of people and have a real wealth of experience. I’ve learnt so much in the last 18 months and I feel I’m way beyond where I would be working in a larger company. I have to say that I’m not a petrol head, but it doesn’t get any better than the engineering projects we work on at LRW. We work with the best of the best – some of the luxury cars are actual works of art!
So, what does your role involve day to day?
Typically, I’m in the workshop but it is varied, we might be on site with a client and there is also the flexibility for some home working. Every day is different but normally my role is a combination of desk work – data analysis and processing - plus more physical hands-on work on the vehicles.
Best thing about LRW?
Being master of my own destiny. I’m in charge of a package of work and I see it through from the start to the end, that’s really satisfying. Plus, the projects are genuinely interesting and there is always something new to work on.
Highlight of the role so far?
My first heat testing trip last year was pretty phenomenal. It was a brilliant experience to be part of a global community of engineers and I learnt a huge amount.
What do you drive? A bicycle! I love cycling and that’s how I get to work.
