Shout it louder for those in the back!

After completing a two-year engineering course, Katie sparked an interest in electrical but never fully pursued it until a few years later when she reflected on her career and knew it was the way forward for her!

Her interest landed her a four-year electrical apprenticeship with Komatsu – and she’s never looked back! With leadership opportunities and the FULL support to go after her career, Katie has definitely found her career home.
