I’ve always liked working with my hands, and this job lets me do that every day. One of the best things is seeing something through from start to finish. Someone will come to us with a problem or a project, and we’ll build the whole thing.
There was one project which had loads of problems and I was tasked to work on it with the designer. We stripped it down, rebuilt it, and made it work exactly how it was supposed to. Succeeding with that project helped me get promoted, it was a big deal for me.
It’s also cool knowing that the stuff we build is used in places where people can’t go, like inside nuclear reactors. We prove that robots can do these jobs safely, without anyone having to go into dangerous areas. That’s pretty exciting.
