About Alex Watkins

A reliable engineering postgraduate with a flexible and adaptive approach to work. In September 2023, I completed a Master of Science in Strategic Engineering Management whilst working in a Technical Engineering role with Bosch Sia-Abrafoam Ltd, a manufacturing company. That has led to my current responsibilities consisting of manufacturing improvement projects, and IT security in the manufacturing zones of the factory. As part of my project work, I am using the opportunity to get more hands on engineering experience to cut project costs and reduce reliance on external contractors. My experience cover areas such as; setup and administration of a Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) for two Bosch sites, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD drawings to build a plant machine register and maintenance administrative tasks. I conduct contractor site inductions, and subsequently manage them on site.
