Jose and Tony interview Diego about his path in engineering and migration. Diego, amechanical engineering graduate from Venezuela, moved abroad in 2017, first to Argentina seeking automotive work but joining Spirax Sarco in the steam and heat-transfer industry. He describes working in thermodynamics-driven steam systems across many industries, first as a project coordinator managing turnkey boiler and steam distribution projects from design through installation and commissioning, then later moving to Valencia, Spain. After a year in a fast-paced startup environment, he returned to Spirax Sarco as a field service engineer, troubleshooting boilers, instrumentation, and commissioning onsite with fewer resources and greater customer pressure. He shares a stressful boiler level-control commissioning case ultimately traced to a design sizing issue, and reflects on cultural differences, reinvention, flexibility, resilience, and advice to keep a vision while staying open to unexpected opportunities. 00:00 Meet Diego00:47 Early Engineering Spark01:59 Leaving Venezuela05:03 Landing First Job06:21 Steam Industry Basics08:38 Mechanical Skills Applied10:40 Back to Spain14:05 Project Manager Life18:25 Two Countries One Company20:32 Reinventing Yourself24:08 Startup Teaser24:39 Startup Laundry Franchises27:14 US Expansion and COVID Crash28:48 Startup Business Model Talk29:52 Engineering When Things Fail32:11 Boiler Commissioning Nightmare35:55 Root Cause Design Sizing39:22 Career Advice Stay Flexible 41:44 Always Explore Opportunities42:52 Thanks and Wrap Up Music credit: DaFuq!?Boom! - YouTube Show Notes NLE012 - Linkedln Listen on: Apple Podcast Spotify Amazon PodBean

In this episode, Tony and Jose sit down with Joe, a principal technical advisor and advisory lead for Natural Power Ireland, to discuss his extensive background in energy and environmental engineering. Joe shares his academic journey from undergraduate studies focused on converting natural energy into electricity, to his work in consultancy and asset management in the UK's energy sector. He delves into his groundbreaking postgraduate research on using lunar soil to create reflective surfaces for solar PV systems, which gained recognition from the European Space Agency and led to a PhD. Joe explains the intricacies of due diligence in renewable energy projects and reflects on the importance of passion in one's career #continue to our LinkedIn 00:00 Introduction and Greetings00:19 Jose's Professional Background01:24 Early Career in Energy Consultancy02:06 Transition to Asset Management03:06 Academic Pursuits and Teaching03:34 Postgraduate Research and PhD Journey04:06 Lunar Regolith Research07:13 Teaching and Lecturing Experience08:12 Challenges and Rewards of Teaching Mathematics15:16 PhD Research and Its Impact15:58 Lunar Regolith as a Construction Material27:17 Complexities of Scientific Research28:57 Reflective Surfaces and Solar PV Systems35:24 General Misconceptions About Science39:24 Efficiency in Engineering and Its Implications42:15 Rebound Effects of Energy Efficiency Policies47:39 Historical Context of Climate Change51:14 Challenges in Renewable Energy Development56:59 The Role of Due Diligence in Renewable Projects01:08:40 Career Advice and Personal Reflections01:23:42 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections Music credit: DaFuq!?Boom! - YouTube Show Notes NLE011 - Linkedln Listen on: Apple Podcast Spotify Amazon PodBean

In this episode, Jose and Tony invite Oscar Herrera-Granados, a Hydraulic Engineer and Senior Lecturer at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, as a special guest on the pod. Oscar started his engineering career after graduation in his home country Mexico. He moved to Europe more than 20 years ago to pursue his career, initially to Germany for further study and eventually settled in Poland. In addition, he had collaborated with Brunel University for hydraulic engineering research while he was in England recently . The conversation touches on several fascinating topics, including several severe floods events in Europe, climate change impacts and the importance of natural flood management as a mitigation going forward. At the end, he even admitted his ‘regret’ of not listening to his older colleagues when he was young, and how to bridge the gaps #continue to our LinkedIn Music credit: DaFuq!?Boom! - YouTube Show Notes NLE010 - Linkedln Listen on: Apple Podcast Spotify Amazon PodBean
