Engineering Talent Podcast #30 | Julia Barr | More Than One Role

In this episode of the Engineering Talent Podcast, Fayon Dixon speaks with Julia Barr about building a successful career in commercial management while balancing family life, flexible working and the realities of being part of a military family. Julia shares how her career developed from support roles into nuclear projects, why adaptability and relationship-building have been central to her progression, and how flexible working has enabled her to keep growing professionally without missing the moments that matter at home. She also discusses the transferable skills parents and military partners bring to the workplace, the importance of knowing your value, and why the right employer should recognise what people can contribute beyond a traditional way of working.
