I was awarded the Scottish Funding Council Energy Skills Undergraduate Project Bursary and worked alongside the Scottish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association in a viability study. It required me to manage my time accordingly, meet with others in the industry and communicate technical information in an understandable and concise way. By the end of the Summer a report was submitted.

I worked on site at the Alstom facilities in Stafford. I was responsible for ensuring over 150 air conditioning systems were safe for operation and were functioning as intended. I experienced what it was like to work within a large industrial facility and how to operate in such environments safely and efficiently.

I worked on a number of sites from Manchester to Bristol within major retail businesses such as Build-A-Bear, Pandora and French Connection. I worked as part of a team alongside Senior Engineers to fit and service units for clients in a professional manner which would meet the customers needs. I was required to be flexible due to the role having to respond to emergency calls throughout the working day. I picked up the duties quickly and proved to be both very reliable and punctual.
