QT Technologies’ Paul Kelleher talked about his career in engineering and shared his top tips for budding engineers looking to stand out.
Career Close-up is our brand-new video series in partnership with IDA Ireland where we chat to senior employees in some of Ireland’s leading multinationals about their career journeys within Ireland’s dynamic tech and science industries.
