Gethn Pickard

Senior Product Development Engineer

“Working at Plessey I’ve had the opportunity to try lots of different things, from CAD modeling to hardware and software development. Coming out of University I was unsure of what I wanted to do and having the flexibility to work in multiple areas has allowed me to identify what I really enjoy.”

Jack Clench

Apprentice Engineering Technician

“When deciding on who to do my apprenticeship with and after a few interviews, in my opinion, Plessey had the most diversity and opportunities to excel. Plessey seemed to have so much going on that if I was to put in the effort I could go anywhere I wanted to within my career there, it also seemed so diverse that not one day would ever be the same.”

Mike Snaith
