As part of the engineering team, I worked with customers to deliver solutions for a wide range of industries including food processing, agriculture, dairy, transport and construction.✓ Quoted new enquiries, accounting for all resource and procurement requirements.✓ Planned production and delivery schedules with ERP software.✓ Produced design-for-manufacture solutions using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.✓ Applied lean principles to design tools and jigs for error proofing.✓ Generated comprehensive shop drawings for machining and fabrication.✓ Created assembly drawings and exploded views with complete bills of materials.✓ Compiled documentation for certified weld inspections.✓ Designed and delivered customised chromatography columns that improved process efficiency by more than 50% and successfully remained within the project budget of $200k.

As part of a forward-thinking team committed to continuous improvement, my role included research and development of hydropower equipment for the mining industry. Testing facilities and 3D modelling allowed me to accelerate prototypes into industrial solutions along with manufacturing protocols, training modules, and maintenance procedures. All initiatives were executed within the framework of an ISO 9001:2008 approved system, ensuring exceptional quality and after-sales support.

For the renovation of a retail fashion store, I coordinated 20 sub-contractors on and off site.

Thanks to a great team effort, the opening event was celebrated successfully on schedule.

In an advanced factory specialising in sheet metal and structural steel fabrications, I led projects from conception to completion with a hands-on approach to resolve technical challenges and utilise resources efficiently.✓ Completed 3D models, manufacturing drawings and revision updates.✓ Handled project bill of materials exceeding 4000 parts.✓ Issued and oversaw more than 300 job cards per year.✓ Coordinated outwork and delivery logistics.✓ Tracked invoices and payment terms.✓ Programmed fully automated Salvagnini P4 panel bender.✓ Programmed robotic welding machine.

Conducting performance tests on compressors, commissioning industrial refrigeration systems, and assisting with service, orders, and designs, constituted my multifaceted role. To upgrade a commercial brewery in a neighbouring country, I supervised the installation of a plant to provide an additional 4 megawatts of refrigeration capacity. In collaboration with my colleague to program the control system, we overcame problems with oil filtration and motor alignment amidst unpredictable product demand. Our adept troubleshooting and parameter adjustments ensured a successful final handover.
