A seat close to the fast-paced pit crew at a Formula 1 race track gave Chloe Barnett the excitement to pursue engineering.
现在，她帮助一个团队在一个非常不同类型的轨道上......
我们问Chloe为什么现在是成为工程师的最佳时机以及她对铁路的多样性的看法。
Watch Chloe in this video:
“It’s a pivotal time to be in engineering.”
“看到问题和......有所作为”
在我们的电影中观看Chloe和同事，为黑人历史月2020年，改变游戏
你的工作是什么？
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击中,我们那的人t were distributing PPE to our on-track staff and people around the business as well … It’s really important to do something meaningful.
Why do you love your job?
我爱我的工作，因为我一直在学习。这是鼓励我每天醒来并回到那份工作的事情之一。
Did you go to university?
I didn’t go to university, I went to college, did an access to engineering award, which allowed me to – if I wanted to go to university – I could go but I chose not to. There are loads of jobs where you need the degree but there are so many opportunities where you can start form the bottom and work your way up and Network Rail offers both of those.
Why is now a great time to be an engineer?
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.
What were you like growing up?
I wanted to be a rally driver … I liked stuff that involved my hands and building stuff and creating things.
Do you remember the first time you felt excited about engineering?
My mum took me to a race atSilverstone我们坐在坑里坐在坑上，我看到了力学的机械机器的速度如何固定，并在那里撤回它。然后我就像，“我想成为一名机械师”。这就是让我选择工程作为GCSE的原因。我想建造建筑吗？成为土木工程师？桥梁和那种东西？这只是让我对工程师的更多工作而不是自己的工程师。
为什么科学，技术，工程和数学（Stew）令人兴奋？
每个孩子都应该有茎......今天的青年是如此善良的技术，这是疯了。Stew的verving，技术的变化。数学是那些保持不变的东西之一，但是，因为你知道它，你知道它，你可以在你生活中的任何地方应用它。
Engineering is all about creating new things and that’s why I’m like, ‘don’t you want to be part of the future?’
你希望在学校里知道什么？
When I was at school I wish someone would have told me you don’t have to have it all figured out right now.
你会告诉一个年轻人会怎么样？
You can keep pushing and keep trying and you’ll find your place. Sometimes you don’t have to look to know what you want to do but what you want to do finds you.
你喜欢和年轻人一起工作吗？
I love working with younger people. 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.
你最喜欢你的工作是什么？
The part that I love the most is developing people. I love being a manager, I love being a leader of my team. Continuing to push myself every day and enjoying the work that I’m doing.
正确地看到成品，知道它是一堆材料，现在是这一点。你工作的寿命也是如此。
在未来10年里，您希望在哪里实现？
我想真的善于成为一个领导者，所以只是为了我的人民，看到他们的机会，帮助他们为那些帮助我的团队。无论我在做什么工作，都会成为我们能做的事情。
Seeing the problems and working towards a difference, making a difference.
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.
这是一个如此大公司，如果你想在人力资源工作，我们有很多机会，我们有一个人力资源部门。如果你想成为创意......我们在网络铁轨上有创造性的角色。亚搏彩票软件官网
What do you think of多元化和包容性在网络亚搏彩票软件官网轨道？
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 …
我们开放的事实是谈话，我们正在谈论它，这真的很棒。我们的大量董事正在谈论他们的部门......
人们需要记住多样性不仅仅是颜色......它的残疾，文化，宗教，性别......我们开放的事实，那些机会在那里，这是最重要的事情。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.
