Graduate Engineer’s Profile
What made you choose Kongsberg?
It quickly became apparent that with Kongsberg I would be given the training and responsibility as and when I was ready for it. Looking back I still consider myself extremely fortunate to begin working within a specialist maritime company when I had never even been on a vessel before! I have had many opportunities for international travel and career progression.
How has your job developed?
I developed from Trainee Engineer status to Customer Support Engineer within months of joining Kongsberg. This illustrates the possible progression opportunities that do exist. When I first joined I travelled to Norway to learn about the many Kongsberg products and services, attending courses on Dynamic Positioning Systems and Software Packages through to our Subsea section of sonar systems. I was given the support needed to find my feet – with a combination of training and colleague support.
What advice do you have for Graduate Engineers considering Kongsberg?
It is an excellent company to work for because I have been very well supported to develop my skills. If you are looking for a job where you are constantly learning, with an exciting range of products, a variety of work and the possibility of travel then this is the Company to join.
