I attended a UMIST (UMIST merged in 2004 to become The University of Manchester) Open Day and was impressed by the facilities and history and knew I\u2019d be happy studying there.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cThe lab facilities were very good, particularly the High Voltage lab\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>The University of Manchester is very strong in Electrical Engineering, and the course content in my taught degrees was interesting, challenging and relevant to the industry.\u00a0 The lab facilities were very good, particularly the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eee.manchester.ac.uk\/research\/facilities\/high-voltage-lab\/\">High Voltage lab<\/a> in the Ferranti Building, which is a world-leading HV lab and unique amongst universities.\u00a0 Plus, Manchester is very lively and cosmopolitan, a great city to live in and I\u2019ve never left!<\/p>\n<p>My degrees from The University of Manchester really prepared me for a career in electrical engineering.\u00a0 Being part of the world-leading Electrical Energy and Power Systems research group during my PhD meant that I was able to study and collaborate with some of the world\u2019s best and brightest academics and researchers.\u00a0 Holding a PhD from this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eee.manchester.ac.uk\/research\/\">research<\/a> group meant that I was very attractive to a range of companies in the Power Systems sector.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cThere were regular careers events to help with CV writing and applying for jobs, and sessions where we could meet prospective employers\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>The University has strong links with industry so the course content on taught degrees is kept fresh and relevant, meaning that Manchester graduates are sought-after by companies.\u00a0 After my MSc and PhD, I knew that I definitely wanted to work in Power Systems and was well prepared technically.\u00a0 There were regular careers events to help with CV writing and applying for jobs, and sessions where we could meet prospective employers, some of which I now attend on behalf of my company in order to speak to graduating students.<\/p>\n<p>After completing my PhD, I accepted an offer from engineering consultancy firm Parsons Brinckerhoff as an Assistant Power Systems Engineer. \u00a0Following on from my PhD work, I focussed on electromagnetic transient analysis. \u00a0Within five years I\u2019d been promoted to Principal Engineer and later was made Team Leader for the Power Systems team in the PB Manchester office.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cThe University has strong links with industry so the course content on taught degrees is kept fresh and relevant, meaning that Manchester graduates are sought-after by companies\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>In 2020 I moved to TNEI, another power systems consultancy, where I\u2019m the Connections Team Manager.\u00a0 I manage a team of Power Systems Engineers, helping renewable energy developers to connect their renewable generation plants (such as Wind, Solar, Waste to Energy, Battery Energy Storage Systems, and Hydrogen) to electricity grids around the world.<\/p>\n<p>An Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree is great because it helps you develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills, meaning that EEE graduates are highly valued and sought after by a wide range of companies, not just the Electrical Engineering industry.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cSummer internships are a great way to get industrial experience whilst studying and are a great opportunity to show a prospective employer your professionalism, work ethic, and technical understanding\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>To work in consultancy, you have to be technically strong, flexible, and adaptable to take on a wide range of projects for different clients in a fast-paced environment.\u00a0 People wanting to pursue a career in this area should make sure that their circuit analysis skills are very strong and try to learn as much analysis software as possible.\u00a0 Programming and scripting skills are becoming more important in the industry too.\u00a0 Summer internships are a great way to get industrial experience whilst studying and are a great opportunity to show a prospective employer your professionalism, work ethic, and technical understanding.<\/p>\n<p>I love working in a challenging industry with some of the best and brightest Power Systems Engineers from all around the world and being at the forefront of the global sustainable energy revolution.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hear from more of our fantastic alumni in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/eee\/category\/eee-in-the-real-world\/\">EEE in the real world<\/a> section of our blog!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gary Preston is one of our brilliant Electrical and Electronic Engineering alumni who is now the Connections Team Manager at TNEI in Manchester.
