Before I was elected to the Scottish Parliament, I was a project manager in thesector, where I had the privilege of working with some of the best and most skilled engineers anywhere in the world. It’s that sense of excitement, that feeling of making a positive contribution to our world and our future, that so many more people will be able to experience if we are able to get a just transition worthy of their incredible skills and talent.
