Kieran Bullivant is an engineering technician. He explores and tests new approaches to problems, helping advance new technology for creating clean energy. Everyone expected him to go to university because he had good grades, but back then he didn't know what career he wanted and didn't want to force himself to pick a course.

Watch this video for the unconventional journey that led to his current role at the @manufacturingtechnologycentre (MTC).
