"From intern to Lead Engineer

At Saltwater, I'm living proof that anything is possible. I started here as an intern in January 2011, now I've been a Lead Engineer for four years. In this role I act as the link between our clients and our team, making sure we deliver on time.

Lead Engineer

"Silent forces come into their own

"

In twelve years I've grown from Junior to Lead Engineer. Since mid-2023 I've been leading projects and working closely with clients, often under tight deadlines. That pressure makes the work dynamic, and the relaxed team atmosphere keeps it enjoyable. At Saltwater, "anything is possible" isn't just a motto, it's how we work.

I look forward to teaming up with a new Junior CAD Engineer to keep growing and building long-term client relationships. What will you bring to the table?
