Profile

I am a chartered engineer who loves to learn how things work. I have worked in medical manufacturing, luxury yacht manufacturing, and food manufacturing. All very different but equally awesome.

When I was 13 years old a couple friends and I entered a competition to design and build a small race car to race against other schools. This experience showed me how fun engineering can be and got me interested in engineering as a career.

When not at work I love to be outside exploring. My partner is a marine biologist so is able to teach me so much about the natural world and how to protect it.

The company I work for manufacture a lot of medical equipment, used all over the world. The site I work at manufactures blood collection tubes and  needle products. My job as a Project engineer is to design and install equipment to manufacture these products. Equipment I have installed range from robots to mechanical conveyors. I very much enjoy getting to play with new technologies and understand and improve manufacturing processes.

The great thing about my job is that each day is very different. My days can include the following:

• Work with tools to build and install equipment
• Work with people across the world to design equipment
• Write reports and procedures
• Conduct safety risk assessments
• Use computer aided design software to model and design equipment
• Present to people all over the world
• Volunteer at local schools
• Train people
