Welcome to "What exactly do you do?", the podcast from Karuna CV. Every fortnight we will be talking to someone to find out more about their job and working life.

In our fourth episode, Rish Baruah meets Steve Burns, a qualified engineer, with an interest in sustainability.

We find out how Steve got started in engineering, and discuss routes into the profession, the qualifications and technical knowledge required, and the different roles available. Steve tells us about the importance of translating complex information into plain English, and the prospects for travel (pandemic permitting).

We also find out Steve's favourite (and least favourite) parts of the job, and subject him to a quick fire round about modern working life.
