At Technicus Consulting, we believe the future of engineering starts with inspiring the next generation.
We were delighted to support the EastWind T-Level Industry Placement Programme by delivering an interactive presentation to 10 no. T-Level Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering (Offshore Wind) students at OrbisEnergy, Lowestoft.
Led by our Director, Kevin Buttle, alongside Kevin Dunnett, Principal Engineer, and Issac Sajith, Graduate Structural Engineer, the session provided students with a real-world insight into the exciting and diverse opportunities available within civil, structural and offshore engineering, and the wider energy sectors.
Throughout the session, we explored:
โ๏ธ The differences between civil, structural and offshore engineering.
๐๏ธ Career pathways and the roles engineers play across the industry.
๐ก The technical and professional skills that help engineers succeed.
๐ป How industry-leading software including SCIA Engineer, IDEA StatiCa and Tekla Tedds supports modern engineering design.
๐
A day in the life of a structural engineer.
๐ A selection of our residential, industrial, onshore and offshore projects that demonstrate the breadth and variety of work our team delivers.
By sharing practical experience and real project examples, we aimed to give the students a genuine understanding of what a career in engineering looks like. Their enthusiasm, thoughtful questions and engagement throughout the session were fantastic to see and highlight the exciting future ahead for our industry.
As consulting civil, structural and offshore engineers, we are passionate about developing talent, supporting our local community and helping build the skilled workforce that will drive the UKโs growing energy sector.
A huge thank you to EastWind, John Best, and everyone involved in delivering this outstanding programme. Weโre proud to play a small part in helping future engineers discover the opportunities our profession has to offer, and we look forward to supporting many more aspiring engineers in the years ahead.
