From intern to Lead Engineer
At Saltwater, I’m living proof that anything is possible. I started here as an intern in January 2011, now I’ve been a Lead Engineer for four years. In this role I act as the link between our clients and our team, making sure we deliver on time.
I joined Saltwater Engineering in January 2011 as an intern. After completing my internship, I started working as a Project Engineer and have now been active as a Lead Engineer for the past four years. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to grow within the organisation and take on increasing responsibility.
In my current role, I act as the link between the client and our engineering team. I translate the client’s needs into clear project requirements and ensure that our engineers deliver the right solutions on time. No two days are the same, which makes the work both challenging and rewarding.
As our projects continue to grow and evolve, we are always looking for talented colleagues who enjoy tackling complex engineering challenges and working together to deliver high-quality solutions.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children. I am also an enthusiastic whisky collector and enjoy exploring different flavours and distilleries. During the summer, you will often find me behind the barbecue, experimenting with different cuts of meat.
Engineers. Thinkers. Makers.
