Watch Chloe and colleagues in our film for Black History Month 2020, Change the Game
What’s your job?
I’m a materials and logistics data manager … We manage the catalogue of non-heavy products, which allows our people on track to order equipment in and help projects … It’s a really key part of making sure that people on track have the right materials to do the job that they’re doing and make sure they’re safe.
例如，当Covid命中时，我们是那些正在向我们的上轨道工作人员和周围业务的人分发PPE的人......做一些有意义的事情非常重要。
你为什么喜欢你的工作？
I love my job because I’m learning all the time. It’s one of the things that encourages me to wake up every day and return to that job.
你上过大学吗？
我没有去大学，我去大学，做了工程奖，这让我允许 - 如果我想去大学 - 我可以去，但我选择了。您需要大量的作业，您需要学位，但有很多机会，您可以在底部开始，然后工作方式和网络轨道提供这两种。亚搏彩票软件官网
为什么现在是工程师的好时机？
We’re at such a pivotal moment in our generation where change is going to happen … where there are actually opportunities to make the change and there is funding from the government to create that change whereas before, there wasn’t always that … Right now, we’re at a good point where we’re having support and so your ideas are being created … It’s a pivotal time to be in engineering.
你喜欢成长什么？
我想成为一名拉力赛车......我喜欢涉及我的手和建筑物和创造事物的东西。
你还记得第一次对工程感到兴奋吗？
我的妈妈带我去了一场比赛Silverstone.and we were sitting quite close to the pit and I saw how quickly the mechanics fixed the car and got it back out there. And then I was like, ‘I want to be a mechanic’. That’s what led me to choosing engineering as a GCSE. Did I want to build buildings? Be a civil engineer? Bridges and that kind of stuff? It just interested me to more work with engineers than be an engineer myself.
Why are science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) exciting?
Every kid should have STEM … the youth of today are so good with technology, it’s crazy. STEM’s ever changing, technology’s ever changing. Mathematics is one of those things that stays the same but that’s comforting because once you know it, you know it and you can apply it everywhere in any part of your life.
工程是关于创造新事物，这就是我喜欢的原因，“你不想成为未来的一部分？”
What do you wish you’d known at school?
当我在学校时，我希望有人会告诉我你现在不必把它所有人都弄明白。
What would you tell a young person?
你可以继续推动并继续尝试，你会发现你的位置。有时你不必看看你想做什么，但你想让你想知道你。
Do you enjoy working with young people?
我喜欢与年轻人合作。As much as I love working with people who have been in this workplace for years and years, working with younger people, they have a whole new drive and energy that kind of pushes me to think, ‘ah, I want to do that as well – create’.
I’ve got people in my team who have started at Network Rail from teenagers and learning from them about the things they’ve experienced … they’re fresh out of uni, some of them are fresh from college and they have a new energy and a new impact and they teach me so much more.
What do you love most about your job?
我最爱的部分是发展的人。我喜欢成为一个经理，我喜欢成为我团队的领导者。继续每天推动自己，享受我正在做的工作。
Getting it right, seeing the finished product, knowing that it was a bunch of materials and now it’s this. The longevity of your work as well.
Where do you hope to achieve in the next 10 years?
I want to be really good at being a leader so just being there more for my people, seeing opportunities for them, helping them grow to those, helping my team. Whatever job I’m doing, grow to be the best at what we can do.
看到问题并努力实现差异，取得差异。
Stepping up and saying, ‘hey, I’m a person of colour who works at Network Rail and I enjoy working at Network Rail’ and encouraging other people who look like me to apply for here and telling them about the things that are going on.
这样的大公司d there are so many opportunities that if you want to work in HR, we have an HR department. If you want to be creative … we have creative roles at Network Rail.
你觉得......怎么样diversity and inclusionat Network Rail?
I don’t think we’re as diverse as our top leaders could be but we are actually more diverse down the company so as in our entry level candidates are more diverse, which is really good because it means we’re encouraging people to join us …
The fact that we are open go the conversation and we’re talking about it, it’s really great. A lot of our directors are talking about it among their departments …
People need to remember diversity is not just colour … it’s disabilities, culture, religion, gender … the fact we are open and those opportunities are there, that’s the most important thing. I would be really surprised if … we had more diverse people at the top and hardly any diversity at the bottom – that’s where the majority of people are … There are so many more apprentices and people at entry level than at the top level … I don’t think it’s a problem but we can improve.
