This was my first role at Thales. I had previously worked in IT, events and facilities but this particular role forced me to embrace all three areas of expertise at once. I had always worked for small, family owned businesses until I joined Thales so I welcomed the step up into a global company. Initially I was responsible for arranging training events at the TLD training centre which I enjoyed but I felt I was starting to shift towards a role that incorporated more and more aspects of facilities management. After a year in the role I was starting to take on more senior responsibilities and eventually progressed into the Team Leader role.Key achievements:Promotion.Quickly adjusting to life in a global company and market leader.
