“The whole experience taught me so much. It really encouraged me to refine my skills as an engineer, to become as accurate and efficient as possible and it also helped me to secure a job in the sector.
“My advice to anyone who is thinking about competing, regardless of sector, is definitely to go for it. It’s a competition that’s really not about the winning, it’s the process of getting there and you’ll be amazed at how much you’re going to learn along the way. Those skills will stand to you long after the competition is over.”
