There is a major sense of achievement when you can see a ship you’ve helped design in the water and not just on paper.

Chris Clark

I believe my broad engineering experience allowed me to identify which job I found most interesting and am happiest doing

Dan Spinney

The diversity of projects available within the naval sector is something that really sets it apart from other industries and helps keep your work interesting and varied.
