A Day in the Life of a Development Engineer

October 21, 2024

Ben, one of our Development Engineers, takes us through his typical day at Polar Technology.

Ben gave us an insight into what a typical day for him is like: "To be honest, in my role, no day is the same! There is a lot of variation, which is a great thing. I'm always encouraged to get involved in the projects that I'm interested in. For example, I'm a huge fan of motorsport and one of my first projects at the company was to work on the design and development of carbon rotor sleeves for a major Formula One manufacturer."


"The best bit of my job is that I feel like I have a direct impact on the business. I was given so much responsibility and trust pretty much straight away. Alongside that, it really does feel like you're part of a team, all working towards the same collective goal. Whenever I am stuck, I feel like I can ask literally any of my colleagues for help and someone will go out of their way to help me. There is fantastic camaraderie in the office!"


"Another major incentive was our state-of-the-facilities and the location. Being so close to Oxford offers me flexibility and a great work-life balance, and pulling into a site that's as impressive and modern as ours everyday doesn't hurt either!"
