Charlie is an experienced systems engineer with 10 years’ experience in engineering consultancy. She holds a Batchelor of Engineering (Honors) degree in Product Design Engineering from Swansea University. After starting her career in 2013, she rapidly gained experience in systems thinking and engineering consultancy. Her ability to learn quickly and adapt to change has enabled her to successfully work with a wide variety of clients, teams and technologies across the defence, civil nuclear and aerospace domains. In doing so, she has taken on many different roles from requirements management and technical assurance to knowledge management and cultural transformation.
Known for her ability to easily step in to new situations and build trusting relationships, she is able to rapidly and effectively get to the heart of challenging situations and help our customers accomplish their goals. Her diverse experience has given her a wide-ranging repertoire of skills which she has built on by completing training in project management and Agile business analysis. She has applied these skills to multiple programmes bringing an agile mindset to engineering practices. This has included programmes delivering armoured fighting vehicles, complex weapons, submarines, robotic handling systems and aircraft systems.
Charlie enjoys developing her change management expertise, applying a systems thinking approach whilst focusing on the people aspects of change. Her enthusiasm for continuous improvement and learning extends outside of work where she helps instil the younger generation with a curiosity and passion for engineering and science through her role as a STEM ambassador.
