A career in engineering gives you pride - I am immensely proud of what the teams I've worked in have achieved. Seeing a solution to a problem start from a simple idea on paper, and growing it into a system that enables the safe passage of flight for our armed forces never gets old.

Thales is fantastic in offering flexible working. Being ex-military, that flexibility allows me to do the fitness that I was always used to in my previous jobs, and now I have time with my family that I didn’t used to have.
