I have been working in the rail industry for 6 years and enjoy the unique environment and its challenges.

My degree has allowed me the oversight to understand complex issues and the interactions between them.

I have an IRSE license.

Experience has been my main training in this role.

Completed an IET accredited graduate training scheme at Invensys Rail Ltd.

Experience of working on the London Underground Victoria Line Upgrade Scheme specialising in modelling and simulations.

I would like to complete either and MBA or an engineering leadership qualification in the near future with the aim of being a technical leader in the rail industry in the future.

Don't limit your applications to training schemes. Many of the best engineers I have worked with have been in normal roles before migrating to a training scheme.

Keep your mind open about industries. I never thought I would work in rail.
