Dreamers & Makers

What inspired you to pursue a career in your field or sector?

What inspired me to pursue a career in machining was seeing how an engineering team’s ideas and development work can be turned into real components, bringing a project to life and giving it physical form. 

How did you come to join Sener?

I joined Sener through the AEGIS project (Lockheed Martin). I came on board to manufacture the power dividers used in the project’s equipment, an opportunity that allowed me to develop professionally. 

Which programmes run by the People team would you highlight as setting us apart from our competitors?

At Sener, there is a growing focus on people and their wellbeing. I would not single out any one programme, because I believe it is the initiatives taken together that make the difference. Together, they make day-to-day working life comfortable, motivating and rewarding. 

How has your career progressed since you joined Sener? What are the main projects you are currently working on?

My progression at Sener has been steady. I started out manufacturing power dividers for the AEGIS project and, five years later, at the age of 23, I was appointed to lead that manufacturing work. Over time, I continued to take on more responsibilities and, at 31, became a manufacturing team leader at Sener Aerospace and Defence, based in Arganda. 

Over the years, I have been involved in manufacturing for major projects such as BepiColombo, SpainSat and Galileo, which have marked important milestones for both the company and the sector. I currently coordinate and oversee critical manufacturing work for Defence programmes, where technical demands and levels of responsibility are exceptionally high. 

How do you think the projects you work on influence the world or society, today and in the future?

At Sener, particularly within Aerospace and Defence, we are very aware of the positive impact our projects have on society. Our engineering and manufacturing work helps make people’s lives more comfortable and safer: from providing key information about our surroundings and outer space to ensuring greater protection through our defence systems. 

How do you keep your knowledge up to date and stay informed about broader trends in your sector?

Nowadays, technology and digital tools make it much easier to keep up to date. Even so, trade fairs and demonstration events where manufacturers showcase their latest technologies remain essential in the machining sector. Attending these events, alongside ongoing training and direct contact with suppliers, enables me to stay abreast of trends and advances in the sector. 

In your opinion, what sets Sener apart from its competitors?

Sener stands out because behind every component, every design and every mission are people who truly believe in what they do. That blend of talent, purpose and heart is what makes us unique. 

What new challenges are you working on in the medium term?

In the medium term, I see myself consolidating the growth of the machining workshop, proud of how it is developing and of the team that makes it possible. Looking ahead, my challenge is to continue developing within Sener, take on new challenges and broaden my knowledge so that I can bring increasing value to the company.
