Hear from Rebecca, Technical Projects Sales Engineer graduate
Rebecca is a Technical Projects Sales Engineer, placed as part of the graduate scheme. Throughout this department she uses thermodynamic principles to size any products required to solve customer issues. These may range from a single valve up to an entire re-design, with site visits providing a different level of understanding through a hands-on approach.
"One of the most exciting parts about working for a company such as Spirax-Sarco Engineering, is that due to the vast range of sectors we operate in, there are multiple different opportunities, and depending how the world changes, we are able to respond and remain successful," she explains.
"Engineering provides a diverse level of roles, working from designing the parts, through to technical proposals. My previous role in Sales was as a Project Co-ordinator for the relocation of one of our buildings. Even though this may not initially seem like an engineer’s role, by having the knowledge learnt through University and Spirax-Sarco Engineering, I was able to apply these engineering principles and ensure the project continued to the best of my ability," she adds.
"I would recommend engineering to any student who is unsure about what career to take, it provides an endless supply of opportunities in almost any sector across the world, and is always changing."
