Questions & Answers

What struck you about IMET when you joined our graduate program?

When I joined IMET, I was immediately struck by how every idea is valued—from small team discussions to company-wide strategy sessions. The open culture means even the smallest suggestion is considered, which explains why we collaborate and innovate so effectively.

What opportunities or projects helped shape your career with us?

I was trusted with significant projects from the outset. Within a month of joining, I attended a meeting with one of the world’s largest aerospace corporations to discuss circular economy opportunities in the industry.

Since then, I’ve worked across several functions, including developing IMET’s first group-wide carbon footprint report as Carbon Footprint Champion, using the Bilan Carbone© methodology. This work demonstrated how carbon data can be used not only for compliance but as a strategic tool to guide engineering priorities, design choices, and long-term value creation. I hold both the Bilan Carbone© Foundation and Mastery certificates.

I’ve also contributed to process documentation and training systems aligned with industry standards and am currently supporting the installation and commissioning of a multimillion-pound titanium wash line in France.

Which achievements are you particularly proud of?

I’m especially proud of my involvement in the installation and commissioning of the IMET France titanium wash line, where I helped streamline the transition from engineering handover to stable operations. The project brought together my technical expertise, strategic planning skills, and passion for collaboration.

How has IMET’s culture helped you?

The company culture is inclusive and empowering. Everyone’s input is valued, and there’s a real focus on developing subject matter experts. This environment has been instrumental in building my confidence and shaping my career.

I also thrive on IMET’s collaborative approach—many challenges are solved by cross-functional teams. I enjoy translating complex operational issues into practical engineering solutions. I often joke that I’m a translator—not just because I speak native French and fluent Spanish, but because I bridge the gap between disciplines and teams.

What advice would you give to graduates considering joining IMET?

Structure your ideas before presenting them. A clear, well-organized suggestion shows both analytical thinking and initiative—and that’s exactly the kind of mindset that thrives here at IMET.

What is the most rewarding part of working at IMET?

Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn. The pace of change and the variety of projects keep my work exciting and meaningful.
