Mechanical Engineering

Since graduating from LYIT in 2014, I have been working as a Sales Engineer for Atlas Copco under their Compressor Technique area.

Atlas Copco’s Compressor Technique is one of four areas in which the group operates. This business area provides industrial compressors, vacuum solutions, gas and process compressors and expanders, air and gas treatment equipment and air management systems.

The principles I learned while studying in LYIT gave me a strong basis to move into a job where an understanding of both the engineering behind different customers’ processes and how to best meet their requirements are required. On a daily basis I use the principles learned in Thermodynamics, Mechanics, Business and Contracts Law, all provided during my course.

The Engineering Department at LYIT gave me the basis required and a well-rounded education so that I could move forward with pursuing the Engineering path which was must suited to me.
