How long have you been at Meggitt?
I had the pleasure of joining Meggitt in 2019 in North Hollywood’s Engine Systems Site as a Mechanical Engineer in a local rotational program. The opportunity to explore four different engineering disciplines: Design, Test, Manufacturing, and Sustaining Engineering created a strong technical foundation and deeper appreciation for cross-functional communication and collaboration. Once I completed the program, I was fortunate to continue accelerating my professional development in the Global Rotational Program as an engineer in the 2021 Graduate Scheme. The three-year program has enabled me to venture to areas outside of the engineering department including operations, supply chain, and transfer projects. From the west coast of the United States to the south of England, my exciting journey and career with Meggitt continues to test today’s limits with tomorrow’s visions!
What made you join?
As a young ambitions graduate, I was on the relentless pursuit to find a company that I would grow in, learn from, and have the ability to be a true contributor. I aimed to find a home where I can start and advance my career as I optimize my strengths while simultaneously developing the additional skills needed to become a successful leader and create long lasting impact. My initial impression of Meggitt being an open-minded, innovative, and people-focused company was accurate. Meggitt was the perfect fit and went beyond what I expected a good company to entail. Meggitt welcomed and valued not only was my skillset, but also was my passions and interests. As a young, female engineer in aerospace, I was whole-heartily accepted and appreciated as an asset to the company. Meggitt’s focus to empower employees through diversity and inclusivity has always aligned with my values and has given me the freedom to be my full self at work. I look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and create impactful work at Meggitt.
What do you love the most about working here?
Throughout my experiences from different sites and roles, one critical statement will always be true: nothing gets done alone. In order to produce meaningful work and be successful, it takes a team. In every area of this business, I have found warm and kind hearted people who give it their all while maintaining positive attitudes. The people I have been fortunate to work with have shared a common goal to improving the company, themselves, and everyone around them.
A company-wide focus for Meggitt has been devoted to improving their employees experiences through a High Performance Culture (HPC). The Employee Resource Groups (ERG) is one of my personal favourite platforms Meggitt has invested in as it is another avenue for employees to engage and connect with communities of people who provide various resources to improve any area of their lives. It has given me the space to connect with ambitious and talented professionals from Asia, Europe, and even colleagues across the street. I have a high appreciation for this company as it is not only focused on how you can contribute to the business, but what the business can do for you. I truly believe the core blue chips has attracted honest, hardworking, and talented people which has allowed me to cultivate friendships and mentorships that I cherish greatly.
