Welcome to The Engineer a Career Podcast!

Along the way, Matthew completed his HNC and HND at Glasgow Clyde College, earned a BEng (Hons) in Electrical Power Engineering, and recently finished an MSc while working full-time.
Matthew has been recognised with prestigious honours including being elected as a Whitworth Scholar.
In this episode, Matthew reflects on his career journey, from pharmaceuticals to nuclear defence and shares advice for parents, educators, and young people exploring engineering as a career path.
