Fayaz
Technical Specialist

“As a Chemical Engineer by discipline, the SFM Strategy & Technical section has given me the opportunity to solve challenging chemical engineering problems and interact with other scientists and engineers in the organisation. I joined Sellafield 34 years ago (BNFL at the time) as it was a large organisation and well recognised amongst chemical engineers. I realised the company could provide me with a wide range of opportunities.

Working for Sellafield has been extremely rewarding, I have acquired a wide range of experience and knowledge in various parts of the organisation.”
