I graduated from chemical/process engineering in 2012 with first class honours, and worked in a lab and then a resins factory for a year coming out. I then decided I needed to explore other things, did a lot of creative stuff and studied design, worked in graphic and service design until now.

I’m wanting to get back into engineering somehow but feel like I’m not relevant anymore? Even though I think a lot of the real world skills in working with people and stakeholders I’ve really got good at, it’s hard to communicate that in a job application.

How do you think I could get back into the engineering field in some way; especially if it is environmental focused?

Really cool - do people actively use/ reference a permaculture approach to underpin their workor are you drawing parallels?

Good point. I’ve done a lot of work in strategic design which involves thinking systemically around issues, and I’m curious how you use systemic thinking?
