development of the Systems Integration team (including team capability development and resilience planning); and leading and directing the Systems Engineering provision to UK clients, prospective clients and the wider global SYSTRA business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:83px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-noir-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-my-career-journey\" style=\"font-size:32px\">My career journey<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Graduating with an Electronics Degree, my first role was actually in Acoustic Engineering within the defence sector! I was initially designing, and then integrating, setting to work, undertaking sea trials and training Forces personnel on our systems. This really drove my passion for understanding \u2018the bigger picture\u2019, looking at \u2018the whole system\u2019 or \u2018system of systems\u2019, including the human-machine interface. As I\u2019ve found out, the \u2018systems thinking\u2019 and human-machine interface challenge is more complex in rail than in defence, not only due to the inclusion of members of the public (rather than just trained operators), but also due to the need to keep the railway operating whilst also delivering change (such as infrastructure upgrades).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So, a transition to the rail industry was my next big step, which was also my first role within a consultancy organisation. Following this I spent several years at Network Rail where I initially lead the development of the Systems Engineering and integration capability nationally for over 200 Systems Engineers. I then worked as a Systems Engineering expert within Eastern Region, where I led, guided and assured the systematic engineering delivery of complex infrastructure upgrades. Whilst at Network Rail I also commenced an MBA aligned to the Senior Leader Masters Degree apprenticeship, which allowed me to develop as a strategic thinker and leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I transferred to SYSTRA in 2022, and continued my MBA apprenticeship journey here, graduating with distinction in 2023! The breadth of knowledge, perspectives and experiences gained during my MBA is one factor I credit in succeeding in my current role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-asked-kevin\" style=\"font-size:32px\">We asked Kevin&#8230;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-griplusclair-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:97px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-when-did-you-realise-this-was-the-career-path-for-you\" style=\"font-size:24px\">When did you realise this was the career path for you?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Wanting to understand how things work is a family trait &#8211; as a boy I would take things apart and test things (sometimes to destruction!) and I always took a keen interest in the work my father did as a Telecoms Engineer. These days, as a Systems Engineer my focus is more on how things interact, integrate and interface with each other, where I advocate for elegancy, efficiency and simplicity in outcomes. However, it\u2019s only within the last 5 years that I\u2019ve realised my preference is to act in a more strategic capacity, leading, guiding and enabling others to work to the best of their abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-have-you-got-any-words-of-wisdom-for-someone-starting-out-in-a-similar-role\" style=\"font-size:24px\">Have you got any words of wisdom for someone starting out in a similar role?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A systems led approach involves being systematic when developing an operable system that is capable of meeting often opposing needs, interests and constraints. The value provided by the Systems Engineer is in balancing the wants and needs of diverse stakeholders (inclusive of technical quality, delivery schedule and cost to deliver \u2018the whole\u2019) by evaluating all the facets, variables and perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Valuable traits include the ability to communicate and translate detailed technical information in a non-technical manner; knowing when and where to probe; the ability to operate with uncertainty; being responsive to change; and being able to identify unintended outcomes. If you are naturally good at these things, this might just be the career for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-how-does-systra-stand-out-from-the-rest-as-a-great-place-to-work\" style=\"font-size:24px\">How does SYSTRA stand out from the rest as a great place to work?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Being relatively new to the business at the moment, for me SYSTRA stands out from its competitors through its commitment to our core values. For example, the depth and breadth of our technical excellence; the empowerment of individuals across the business to lead and do what they know is right (and not just what the contract terms state); and the resourcefulness and network of likeminded colleagues who actively collaborate, which really provides something far better than the work of a sum of individuals. I\u2019ve been really astounded by the willingness, helpfulness and behaviours of all that I\u2019ve met across the business, both within the UK and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-with-such-power-in-diversity-what-unique-perspective-do-you-bring-to-the-table\" style=\"font-size:24px\">With such power in diversity, what unique perspective do you bring to the table?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As I have a Systems Engineering background, my thought process and perspective brings logic and order to complexity, acting often as a technical translator with an ability to see the bigger picture. This allows me to offer unique insights. For example, the identification of unintended consequences, or how simplifying something in design to ease the construction method may complicate things for the operation and maintenance of an asset for the next 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-where-is-the-place-that-has-inspired-you-the-most\" style=\"font-size:24px\">Where is the place that has inspired you the most?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This one\u2019s difficult, but if I had to pick a place, I think I would say Manchester. Not only does the city have a rich legacy of industrial innovations such as the first railway (which has shaped sustainable travel to the present-day) and scientific discoveries such as Graphene, but it\u2019s also a major hotspot for creative industries such as broadcasting and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I also hope that with the work I\u2019m doing on projects such as HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail from here in Manchester, I can play a small part to inspire the generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-does-true-sustainability-really-mean-to-you\" style=\"font-size:24px\">What does true sustainability really mean to you?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Wearing my Systems thinking hat, this really must be tackled on a global level. But in doing so, this will need each and every piece of the jigsaw puzzle to fit together in the right way to realise the end vision. The benefits of \/ positive steps towards net zero and a sustainable world made by one country can so easily be eclipsed by backward steps made by others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-would-a-green-future-look-like\" style=\"font-size:24px\">What would a <em>green future<\/em> look like?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it would focus on renewable energy generation and storage, reduction in processing of materials where possible and their use in the most natural state possible, and where this is not possible the re-use of those materials and outputs for other means. A great example being the re-use of wind turbine blades as fibres to strengthen concrete and as an alternative to rebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-how-do-you-look-after-your-wellbeing-outside-of-work\" style=\"font-size:24px\">How do you look after your wellbeing outside of work?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Wellbeing for me comes in various forms &#8211; physical, mental, social and spiritual to name a few. I manage my physical wellbeing through a number of hobbies including cycling, skiing and hillwalking, as well as through my love of good food. I typically ensure my mental and social wellbeing through openly sharing my thoughts and feelings, and making sure I set time aside to engage and connect with family and friends. But when that\u2019s not possible I do enjoy a good read, particularly non-fiction &#8211; this can be anything from academic\/research papers on Systems Engineering, to motivational books by authors such as Simon Sinek. Finally, I would say my children are my purpose these days, so striving to do and be the best I can for them is very important to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-eggplant-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-if-you-could-spend-your-lunchbreak-with-someone-you-really-admire-who-would-you-choose\" style=\"font-size:24px\">If you could spend your lunchbreak with someone you really admire, who would you choose?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It would have to be Mark Wild, the former Crossrail CEO.
