About Megan...

Who am I?

"The Manager personality type match fits with my characteristics because I have a tendency to want to take charge and direct operations. I like things to be organised and under control. "

What do I do?

"I am a Systems Engineer working on the development and integration of propulsion system. I'm involved in early lifecycle design developing requirements and solutions to satisfy future RAF combat needs. "

How did I get here?

"I entered my current role through an unusual route as I spent 5 years in different procurement roles. I have always wanted to be an engineer so when the opportunity presented itself I grabbed it with both hands. "

The life I live

"I'm heavily involved in activities across my local community, organising the village fete, the local half marathon and also a Girlguiding Rainbow leader. With such a busy schedule I love to relax and have some downtime and enjoy being pampered at the spa and nail salon."

My typical day

"I'm office based and spend quite some time on my laptop, analysing, understanding processes and writing documents. My role does mean that I have interaction with suppliers, procurement and manufacturing teams. Although I use I.T a lot to solve problems during design, I also have the opportunity for hands on experience working on test rigs and the fighter aircraft."

My qualifications

"A levels in Maths and Product Design. BTEC Level 3 in Mechanical Engineering. HNC in Mechanical Engineering. BEng (Hons in Mechanical and Production Engineering. Level 4 Diploma in Procurement and Supply. "
