    Amber O'Conor

    Siemens

    At the age of 26, Amber works as an Equipment Health Monitoring & Performance Engineer and Remote Diagnostic Services Program Manager. Not only is she able to interpret a gas turbine’s 3,500 data measurements per minute, she leads a team to ensure they’re running faultlessly in every region of the world. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, she’s a mother of two and a champion of diversity. We’re here to see Amber on a typical day, although there’s really no such thing as a typical day for her. "There's always loads of things going on, and I do a lot of juggling. But the challenge really excites me," she says. We follow her as she balances her global projects with her ambassadorial work - as well as parental duties.
