Lee Sweetman
Occupation: Senior Engineer in the nuclear industry
Background: I enrolled on an apprenticeship after I left school. I worked as a technician (on a chemical manufacturing site) while studying part time (HNC/HND and Degree – paid for by my employer). I went into a technical role and now working as a Senior Engineer for a consultancy firm in the nuclear industry.
Why have you offered to return as a judge for NSEC at the NW Big Bang 2016? I liked judging at previous Big Bang North West events and l am interested in encouraging the students.
What’s the best part of judging? The diversity of the projects presented
Do you have any advice for the students who are entering this year? Enjoy the project and presenting on the day!
Fun fact about yourself: I have always enjoyed taking things apart (but not always putting them back in the same way!)
