"I joined Siemens Healthineers in January 2019, just a few days after leaving the Military. Having served 23 years in the Royal Navy, finishing my career as a Warrant Officer 1, I was eager to find a new challenge in the Medical Imaging world with Siemens Healthineers.

Four years on and I can honestly say, I enjoy the job just as much as I did in my first week. Working on some fantastic X-Ray and Angiography systems and with some really dedicated people, I love the daily variation and life-work balance.

There’s a good mix of Ex-Forces personnel throughout the teams and it’s good to still have that camaraderie with them when we get together at work and socially."

Brian Shaw, Customer Service Engineer.

Previously Warrant Officer 2 (AQMS).


"After 26 years as a REME Electronics Technician/Artificer, I joined Siemens Healthineers as a Customer Service Engineer supporting X-Ray Products.

I have been with Siemens Healthineers for 2 years and was supported throughout my transition from military life by a fantastic team of Engineers and Managers with a healthy mix of Armed Forces and private sector backgrounds. We work collaboratively with a strong team ethos and gain from our differing experiences.

My knowledge and opinions are appreciated and whenever I've need guidance someone has always been at the end of the phone. I've had the opportunity to make friends with engineers from Brazil to Korea and all countries in between at our top-class training centre in Bavaria.

Siemens Healthineers allows me to develop professionally, introduces me to cutting edge technologies and has offered me unrivalled work-life balance. I travel to different sites each day, all within the Northeast, and enjoy building up successful relationships with our customers within the Healthcare Sector."
