Persuading senior managers to take on an idea of mine – you really have to get your facts right and present your case!
Having said that – challenging situations always make me think – and I think that’s a good thing to make sure I’m on track with what I want to do!

Good question!
The most difficult position for me has to be when I present to my fellow mechanical engineers. They are all very experienced and know a lot more than me about most areas of the water industry. The questions they ask are really hard!
Let me present to the Cheif Executive any day!

Hi Rach
Great question – The most difficult thing about my job is getting people to talk about energy as much as they talk about next years fashion trends. Working for a big retail company means energy is not their main focus. So i spend alot of time influencing and persuading people . This is people who work in the stores as well as senior management. Engineering is not just about solving problems, its also about communicating solutions.Jaz

Sometimes I get questioned by people if I’m sure my work is right when they think I’m wrong, that can be difficult! So I go away and check that I’m happy with my work and then go through it with them!

I found choosing which direction to take my career to be difficult. When I graduated I had to choose between a job with an oil company and the chance to stay at university to study more. It was a tough decision but eventually I decided to stay at University and pursue a career in research.
I guess this just goes to show that there are many choices if career if you study engineering!
