I think any engineer wants to be the best that they can be within their field of engineering. My daily achievements are to make sure that the aircraft is fixed as quickly as possible so that it is ready for the next mission to deliver aid to people that need help.
My job changes every day, but my main job is to work as part of a team to make sure we are ready to achieve the next big goal – right now I am working with some other engineers to get the ship ready to go into dry dock. Once we are there, the goal will change (it will probably be to upgrade the equipment and then get it back out of dry dock!)
You could say what I am aiming to achieve is solve problems – that’s basically what engineers do. In my job if my equipment didn’t break or wear out, I wouldn’t have a job!
