Background

About Jamie Steele

TLDR: I'm an adaptable problem solver who learns fast and doesn't skip details. I'm also human, just like you. I am a self-confessed EngiNERD. I've a passion for engineering and doing things as local as possible. I particularly intend to help drive and develop Scottish Engineering Design and Manufacturing. Adaptable, dependable and resilient with a thirst for innovation. My work history consists mainly of working for smaller companies and getting stuck in well beyond the base requirements. I am solution-oriented and take a pragmatic approach to complex problems. I have engineering skills spanning both academic and practical worlds. I’ve gained an excellent appreciation of Design for Manufacture through previous work and interests which coupled with strong communication and interpersonal skills mean I can develop good working relationships from the ‘shop floor’ through to executive level. I'm a fast learner and I approach my work with a balanced view of business needs and available resources. I will work to get the job done, whether that means putting in a few extra hours or taking on roles out with the main job scope. Regarding honesty and transparency, I'm open on my knowledge gaps and I'm not afraid to say 'I was wrong' or 'I don't know' but I'll endeavour to find out and realise the best solution I can within the resources at hand. Finally I'm human. I'm a fan of treating people like people and believe something valuable can be learned from everyone and every experience, at any level.
