      So far, the biggest projects I have worked on are the refurbishment of Kessock Bridge in Inverness, working on the painting of the Forth Rail Bridge, working on the HS2 project recently, and currently I am working on a large scale marina expansion project in Scotland that is a huge project!

      A new build chemical plant, I was on a team of over 50 engineers just developing the the control system. It took over 10 years to design, build and install the system. I only worked on the system for 3 years but I know people who also worked on the construction side of things and they were on it for nearly 15 years.

      I think the biggest project was a long time ago now, but it was at the very start of metal 3D printing with Titanium. This involved the F1 teams, aerospace companies, and some medical companies and we had to prove that it was possible to print with titanium without it failing in all the different applications.
