“Working on a variety of different projects for several clients means I am constantly being presented with new challenges and the work is always interesting. I have relished the chance to spend time working on-site at a range of facilities including oil refineries, nuclear plants and chemical factories.

Direct contact with clients has allowed me to develop those business and consulting skills which you just don't get to learn at university. Since joining RPS, I have learned a lot of chemical engineering to understand the hazards present in the oil and gas industry.

I am increasingly being given responsibility for managing projects and clients and I hope to build on this. I would also like to gain chartered status and RPS are very supportive of this goal.
