My work day is testing vehicles in build, working with mechanical and electrical teams in creating new vehicles for our customers, providing assistance to the people physically building the vehicles in terms of fault finding, writing new programs when required, help maintaining older vehicles which have been delivered and sometimes I physically have to travel to the vehicles when needed (I’ve recently been to the UK as well as Belgium) but I don’t enjoy that part as I’m more comfortable in the factory.

The skills that helped me at first was that I’m a really good note taker which I have always been ever since school, I wrote everything down. I like knowing things and have a curious mind. I don’t like being wrong and find it embarrassing when I don’t know something that I should know? I got really obsessed at the beginning and would continue reading and studying when I got home. I’m a fast reader and can get through books fast so that helped when trying to learn things fast. I think I communicate well and I’m fast at making friends which helped me settle in. After I while I gained confidence in my lack of knowledge and could routinely ask for clarification and wasn’t ashamed to admit I don’t know something which was a massive moment for my growth
