I'm offering
A Mechanical biased Engineer, degree qualified (BSc Hons) with a Master in Business Administration (MBA); both qualifications have been self-funded and obtained from The Open University whilst employed. The roles I’ve undertaken are varied, from Programme management on Gas assets, Project management on the rollout of novel processes (UU, HFL - EfW and Worley Parsons), more mainstream project management of repair and replacement of existing assets (Wood and HFL) and Design Engineering on the development and integration of bespoke machinery (TTL, Nice-Pak, Pilkington’s, Cadence Engineering and Vickers Specialist Engines). All aimed at satisfying the overall business needs, building client relationships for future business and streamlining internal operations; not just the immediate task at hand.
