At Teignbridge Propellers I gained an extensive knowledge of marine sterngear and associated components. The theory gained from my degree was complemented by tuition from various senior naval architects with experience of working in the engineering section.I designed numerous propellers with a very high success rate during sea trials.My duties included detailed designing of complete shaft lines and associated components both to standard, custom and classification design plus advanced design of high performance rudder and shaft brackets. A thorough understanding of our manufacturing processes was essential to ensure an efficient and cost effective design and manufacture of components.I designed and submitted propellers and stern gear to all the Major Classification societies. I regularly performed resistance, speed and powering estimations including selection of appropriate engine powers and gearbox reduction ratios. I visited many customers both in the UK and abroad to attend sea trials, present information, attend trade shows, discuss customer design requirements, advise on hull design to ensure efficient integration of sterngear components and further the company market share.I am proficient in many software packages including AutoCAD, Rhino and Delcam Powershape 3D modeling software and Avante Materials Requirements Planning.

Engineer in the Utilities section of the Environment Division. Duties included all aspects of design, recommending solutions to design problems, analysis, liaising with contractors and working to strict deadlines. The ability to work with minimal supervision or communicate effectively as part of a group was essential. I had a role working on all aspects of rehabilitation of water distribution mains reporting including manipulation and analysis of the background data, organising and chairing meetings, use of Geographical Information Systems, planning quality surveys and compiling of reports. I was responsible for all GIS and data issues and for managing the workloads of technicians and admin staff. I designed a number of civil engineering solutions for projects including sustainable urban drainage systems and detailed design of drainage systems including hydraulic modeling. I was responsible for preparing COSHH and risk assessment documentation. My work required the extensive use of GIS, CAD and database packages. I became proficient in AutoCAD, Strumap, Access and Excel to an advanced level. I was the graduate representative for the Exeter office.
