I think that as every engineer, I enjoy being able to understand how the things work but, I enjoy even more finding out why something doesn't and finding a way of solving it, so, having the opportunity to deal with complex problems every day is something that I find very interesting and enriching, as every day will be different.

To new graduates joining the company I would recommend them to prepare to learn a lot, to push their limits and try to step outside their comfort zone from time to time. When joining Kingspan, you are joining a company that will help you grow both as a professional and as a person, therefore, you are the one who will decide how far you want to go.
