“At React, you are given significant responsibility relatively early in your career, and your development is supported by the wealth of experience within the company. I have been exposed to numerous high-complexity engineering challenges, project, programme and portfolio management requirements, and nationally important decommissioning operations, within an environment which encourages learning as much as possible. Amongst my achievements with React to date, I facilitated the scoping and prioritisation of, and provided management and technical delivery support to, an Improvement Programme which successfully increased the operational throughput in a 40+ year-old cell to help achieve the national defueling strategy of the EDF sites. Achieving this strategy is estimated to realise approximately £1.5Bn in savings for the UK Taxpayer.
A large element of my role is associated with the development of myself, the business and the people around me. I co-founded our monthly Developing Engineers Forum, creating a space for our consultants to share their experiences, discuss challenges and learn from each other. I have also been involved in promoting STEM to local children and young people through the React Foundation, helping to enhance the awareness of Engineering and inspire the next generation.
As a small company, building strong, meaningful relationships is essential to maintaining our supportive and collaborative culture. I help foster this through a range of social activities, from team sports such as five-a-side football and padel to friendly games of pool or snooker, or simply getting together for a meal.”
