I have worked at Dyer since leaving school. I was a successful apprentice in fabrication& welding. I have then been working my way up the ladder, as they say, from Team Leader of the fab/weld department to Annfield Plain Site Supervisor, then to Harelaw Site Supervisor, and finally to Site Operations Lead. I have been here 19 years. My favorite part of my job is seeing the progression of people, from TL (Team Leader) progression and shop floor progression, from non-skilled to becoming very talented individuals/employees. I have been given brilliant opportunities through the years to progress through the business, with various aspects of training including internal and external coaching. I love the flexibility in hours to support kid's school start and after-school activities this has been very helpful in my personal life.

I am currently the Operations Lead for the JobShop division but have worked in various engineering roles throughout the business since I started as a 21-year-old Mechanical Engineering graduate in 2013. Following a 2-year stint working for another manufacturer in Scotland from 2020 I returned to Dyer Engineering in 2022 when I realised that my current job was not as enjoyable or as fulfilling as my role at Dyer had been – and I certainly do not regret returning. I thoroughly enjoy my role, being part of a brilliant team, and working for a thriving business that cares for its employees. I have always felt supported and been given opportunities to develop my knowledge and skills, most notably day release for a degree-apprenticeship in Business Leadership and Management. I am excited about the future and my role in helping the business to succeed and continue it’s growth.
