   "BSc (Hons) Engineering Management; professional recognition as an Incorporated Engineer with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (ImechE); and the suite of training available on the Defence Learning Environment (ILS, TTLS, Human Factors)."

   "Engage really helped me transition to civilian life, and the familiarity of the work I’m currently involved with has helped me hit the ground running. I enjoy working in Engage, and the role I’m currently in gives plenty of autonomy while also offering support whenever needed."
