I\u2019m amazed at how quickly time has gone since; it might sound clich\u00e9 but it really does feel like it was only a couple of years ago!<\/p>\n<p>In the time since that day, I completed a placement year with Mondelez International, graduated with an undergraduate masters and started on the graduate scheme at Air Products. I did four roles over five years based in Surrey and Middlesbrough but travelling across Europe, including Operations Process Engineering, Process Systems Engineering, Project Engineering and Asset Management. I then rolled off the graduate programme into my current role, Deputy Plant Manager of a large Air Separation site in Manchester. I had such fond memories of my time in Manchester, that when the role came up, I jumped at the chance to move back! I still have friends in the area too, which made the move all the more appealing.<\/p>\n<p>Since graduation, I have also become a Chartership Engineer \u2013 as well as gaining a Girlguiding leadership <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-703 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2020\/05\/Graduation-Picture-e1588342216536-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2020\/05\/Graduation-Picture-e1588342216536-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2020\/05\/Graduation-Picture-e1588342216536-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2020\/05\/Graduation-Picture-e1588342216536-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2020\/05\/Graduation-Picture-e1588342216536-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2020\/05\/Graduation-Picture-e1588342216536-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/ceasblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2020\/05\/Graduation-Picture-e1588342216536.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/>qualification, creating a small workplace climbing club and running the Air Productions European HQ Outreach programme for two years. The support of the teaching staff at CEAS really helped to increase my self-confidence during my time in Manchester, and paved the way for my achievements to date.<\/p>\n<p>My advice for anyone joining CEAS would be to make the most of all the opportunities at your fingertips.\u00a0If you\u2019re into sports, join a sports club. Got a different hobby? Check out the societies. And do\u00a0join the Chem Eng society \u2013 the socials are great, but it also provides you with some fantastic networking opportunities and ways to develop your \u201csoft\u201d skills. And finally, enjoy the experience.
