"Dorota is a project executive, she works in a global engineering company overseeing projects, and managing teams to produce or repair components for trains.The ‘Developer’ type is a good fit for Dorota as she needs to develop teams and plans for projects. The ‘Investigator’ type is a good fit for her as she needs to work out how to make the project work and as a ‘Quality Controller’ type, check the progress of the project and quality of production. She needs to be resourceful to overcome any problems the team has and keep production moving. Dorota needs to be resourceful as she ensures that projects are moving forward and helps to promptly remove blockers that appear by using detailed and continuous risk assessment."

"As a Project Manager, Dorota will be in charge of several manufacturing projects at a time. She may be producing or repairing components for new trains or existing ones, and if her parts are late or not to the correct quality it could mean that delivery of the train is delayed. Dorota uses digital technology and project management software in this role.Dorota will plan the projects and set up a team that has all the skills needed to do the job. She will then work out what is needed for the project, this could include working out the costs, ordering materials, and deciding on manufacturing processes. She will need to keep customers and managers updated, make sure everyone has the information and training they need. Most importantly she needs to ensure that the project stays on time, in budget and that the final product is to the standard required. She also looks at improvements to current work processes and, if they are approved, she helps with their implementation."

"Dorota studied for a BA in Political Science, before working in many different fields of engineering, from purchasing spares for machinery in a meat manufacturing business to editing and fixing code in various file types in a global language services provider firm.Dorota then decided to move to a project manager position in the industry she was working in at the time, with a starting salary of £35,000. She later felt that a product development role would be more interesting so she took up the role of Project Manager in a design team in the automotive industry. She then wanted to build on her existing project management skills by gaining experience in managing different type of projects and that is how she ended up in her current role. "

"In her spare time, Dorota enjoys spending time outdoors, from kayaking and windsurfing to hiking and scrambling. She is actually terrified of heights, but keeps challenging herself with more advanced scrambles, always looking just one step ahead while doing it so she doesn't panic! She is also a keen traveller and a bit of a foodie. For the next step in her career, Dorota is hoping to work on higher value projects and hopefully one day become a Programme Manager, looking after a larger portfolio of projects."
