There are many manufacturers locally supplying into the automotive, rail and infrastructure industries. Without the movement of goods the world’s economy would collapse and there would not be things for people to buy. Whether it is specialist vehicles at airports or in the military, specialist equipment on the railways, turbos and motors or the electronics to control how things work or products relating to transport and wind power there is so much connected with infrastructure.

Always innovating to improve this is a fast-paced industry desperate to attract young minds. As the world evolves and awareness changes through new emission regulations, targets or individuals’ awareness so does the design, manufacture and support of vehicles. From initial concept to the final products this sector can take people on a journey that can be as exciting as one wants it to be. To design or manufacture the next component that makes a vehicle more environmentally-friendly, the electronic controller that makes things happen or something to make the railways safer can offer a very rewarding career.
