Meet Vaso – Graduate Engineer

Why did you want to be an engineer?

As far back as I can remember, I have always had an inherent curiosity about how things work. I like problem solving and I really enjoy working in a team environment. Engineering is a group activity and working with others toward the same set of goals can often produce great results.
