How did your journey at Pittini begin?
During my work placement and whilst working on my dissertation, I was offered the opportunity to work on a project relating to the granulation of white slag. This gave me the chance to gain first-hand insight into both the Energy Department and the Group’s Technical Department.
What did you take away from this experience?
I had the opportunity to tackle practical issues and to see the project I had been working on grow over time. Today, that idea has become a fully operational system, and I am proud to have contributed to its development.
