Tips/Comments: “The UK and Solent region in particular is a great place to base a marine technology career. Software and electronics are becoming as important as the raw materials we build vessels from, make sure you get some good basic groundings in these, no matter what your maritime career plans are.”

13. Career Examples Rob Clark – Unmanned Systems Developer Marine and electronics hobbyist. Masters degree in Electronic and Communications Engineering (University of Bristol). Spent two summers after university working as a yacht engineer in Greece. Back in the real world worked on software/hardware design for custom Android handsets, consumer marine electronics (Garmin) and now unmanned control systems with ASV. Tips/Comments: “For me, knowledge and experience outside my degree has been key. The correct qualifications are vital to get you past the first cut but a significant, proven, and related interest or previous work experience/internship will really help you stand out from the crowd..”

14. Career Examples Phil Clark – Head of Operations and Facilities “I had planned to train as a mechanical engineer since I was able to lift a spanner, and focussed on maths, sciences and technology at school. I went on to Portsmouth University to study Mechanical Engineering at degree level. I worked briefly in the medical industry and then moved into marine propulsion, marine deck equipment and then on the ASV. I now run a team who deploy worldwide to operate our fleet of ASVs within the Military, Oil and Gas and scientific theatres”. Tips/Comments: “Remain inquisitive about everything around you. A mechanism you came across when repairing one thing, may be the basis for solving a completely different problem ten years later. Don’t be afraid to make a mistake when engineering, learn from it and don’t make the same one twice!”
