“I enjoy the hands-on learning and challenging myself to achieve my best.”
Eve Hardwick Level 2 Motor Vehicle
The engineering sector is ideal for those innovative bright sparks who enjoy coming up with new ways of doing things, have problem-solving skills and enjoy working practically.
Mechanical Engineers develop and design the components and machinery used in manufacturing, construction and other industries.
Turn research ideas into technical plans using computer aided design/ modelling (CAD/CAM), research and assess new products and innovations, present design plans and data, oversee maintenance programmes and quality control and manage technicians.**
At a client’s business, in an office or in a factory.
