Shannon - Why I chose to work at MCFT

Jun 21, 2024

I chose to work for MCFT because I was looking for a hands on job that required no prior experience, and provided full training - coming from an office job and seeing this was the perfect opportunity for the change I needed.


In my current job role I have been given the opportunity to work in the Netherlands, it was such a great experience and the learning curve I needed to help push myself further both in my work and my confidence. This has been one of my best moments working for MCFT, as they gave me this opportunity and trust to allow me to work over there. 


MCFT is very diverse and inclusive, there's no male roles or female roles there are just job titles, it's great because I'm 'one of the engineers' which I find very liberating.


I would say it hasn't all been smooth sailing, and challenging on the road, but I have adapted and grown with the role.


I would recommend any woman to go for a trade role to help fight the stereotypes and prove trade roles aren't just for men. If you're considering an engineering style role - take the plunge! I have been doing this for over 2 years and haven't looked back and i'm still loving it.
