Support Systems Lead
I enjoy working as part of the Support Engineering team within CDS Defence & Security due to the ability to be involved in a variety of projects across the Land, Sea, Air and Space domains, using my skills to influence system design and supportability. CDS Defence & Security have time and time again gone the extra mile to make me feel like a member of the team and not just a number within the organisation. I have been able to learn and grow within my role from an ILS Engineer to Support System Lead and have enjoyed the journey.

I joined CDS DS in 2017 after a short career in the Royal Navy Submarine Service. I started my career with CDS DS as an Operator out here in sunny Cyprus, which definitely makes getting out of bed for work slightly more appealing than the grey skies of the UK. After 5 years and many opportunities to better develop myself through courses provided by the company, I was promoted to Team Leader of a group of 5. Working alongside our military counterparts made for an interesting but smooth transition into civilian life. The Cyprus workforce made up of military and civilians is as diverse as any I have had the pleasure of working with before. Work can be challenging at times but together we work as a team and ensure there are plenty of opportunities to take advantage of being based in Cyprus.

Put simply CDS DS is a wonderful place to work. As a busy mum of two striking a healthy balance between work and motherhood is always a challenge. My line manager and colleagues could not be any more supportive, and thanks to their support I feel like I have been able to really develop professionally. My work as a Senior Training Consultant is really interesting; the diversity of projects and clients always keeps things fresh.
