Welcome to The Engineer a Career Podcast!

Our next guest is Scott Haldane, a Technical Sales Manager at Siemens Gamesa, and a passionate advocate for renewable energy and Scotland’s role in the global energy transition.

Scott’s journey into engineering is a powerful example of how college can be the launchpad to a successful career.

After leaving school without the qualifications to go straight to university, Scott took the college route studying at Glasgow Clyde College, before progressing to a BEng in Mechanical Engineering at Robert Gordon University.

In this episode, Scott reflects on how his path shaped not only his technical skills but also his perspective on the energy challenges we face. He shares his passion for the wind sector, the importance of early-stage decisions, and why building Scotland’s renewable future needs diverse routes into engineering.

If you’re a student considering the college route, or someone who’s inspired by the push for clean energy, Scott’s story will give you clarity, confidence, and direction.
