What is your role? Can you talk about the work you do on a specific project?Within the PMO, I work as part of the Capture team. I am thoroughly enjoying this, as it has given me the opportunity to work collaboratively with our partner companies (and extensive supply chain) to provide DE&S with solutions that deliver value for money in an agile way. I am also a Project Manager on tasks which are contracted through the framework. This secondary role has allowed me to work closely with our customers in DE&S to deliver their projects and see the value that the Aurora Engineering Partnership brings on a local level to the Delivery Teams.
I have been amazed at how my colleagues within the Atkins EDP team have quickly adapted to working virtually throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and have continued to successfully achieve what has been asked of them. Whilst we are a hard-working team, we have also managed to have fun, with my personal highlights being the virtual murder mystery and our weekly Menti quizzes.
Do you feel we’re on track to improve challenges within the sector, or is change needed?
As somebody in the first half of their career, I believe we need to proactively engage with our industry partners to support the UK Government and provide them with the flexible acquisition routes they need in order to deliver and grow much-needed onshore skills, technologies and capabilities. Our Engineering Delivery Partner contract with DE&S is a great example of how strategic partnerships can benefit the UK Government and the industry as a whole.
In order for this sector to continue its rate of growth, younger generations will need to challenge themselves to innovate and take risks - and those who do will be invaluable enablers of change.
