Why did you choose to be an Engineer?
When I was younger I was always taking things apart to see how they worked (mum was glad when I got older and was able to put them back together again) and working on cars with my dad and gained an appreciation for the design that goes into everyday items and solving the problems that can arise so felt like the right path.
If you were not an engineer, what would you be?
Seeing as I spend most of my free time working on Cars, probably a mechanic.
Which of the benefits that CATAGEN offer are your favourite?
The flexible working hours; it`s nice to be able to work around personal commitments and at home when needed.
