Why Meggitt?
The primary reason why I joined Meggitt was because the technology created here often requires materials to withstand extreme environments; for example within the engine of an aircraft which presents challenging and rewarding projects for a material engineer like me. Considering that 90% of Western aircrafts are equipped with Meggitt products, there’s a very high chance that if I go on a plane, the products we create are helping to make safe flight possible; this is also amazing and contributed to my choice to come to Meggitt. Another reason is that the friendly but driven company culture really stood out to me during the interviews and site-visit.
What do you enjoy most?
The best thing about the program is that you get to sample many areas of the business and meet so many new people. The opportunities for technical learning and networking are endless!
My placements
I have completed a placement in San Diego on engine composites and am currently in my second placement at Simi Valley working on high-temperature air leak detection sensor development.
My best memory to date
My best Meggitt memory so far is presenting my completed project with directors and company leaders to showcase the work that I have done.
