My responsibilities include reviewing client specifications in order to provide the best solutions for their needs. This will include initial concept, sketches, 3D Modelling (Autodesk Inventor), 3D renderings, proposal documentation (Drawings) and any supporting documentation. Calculations performed using Mathcad and Excel in conjunction with analysis performed using the built-in Autodesk Inventor FEA package to ensure designs will perform as predicted and will satisfy all the client's requirements.I am responsible for every aspect of the Design process at Trelleborg AEM. From producing the production drawings, calculations and CAD models, to liaising with the CNC department and the shop floor to ensure a smooth transition of work through the system.

My responsibilities here included reviewing client specifications. Producing initial concept ideas, sketches, 3D Modelling (Autodesk Inventor), 3D renderings, proposal documentation (Drawings) and any supporting documentation. Calculations performed using Mathcad and Excel in conjunction with FEA using Ansys. Producing Design Basis and Design Report documentation. Attending Design Review meetings, both internally (via video-conference) with the staff in Aberdeen and also with the clients at Balmoral Aberdeen office.I was responsible for every aspect of the Design process at Balmoral's Rochdale office.

I was responsible for the production of all draughting work that our business unit required, either in the form of 2D drawings or 3D models. It was essential that the 3D models were accurate as they were used directly during the C.N.C. machining process. I also used the model volumes to calculate accurate buoyancy values – essential due to the high cost of some of the specialist materials that the company use.Due to the (fairly) simple nature of the buoyancy products, jobs tended to take less than a week to complete. The nature of the offshore oil industry however, usually dictates that the products are required almost immediately. The limited time available to produce designs and drawings is always a challenge on which I thrive.Part of my work with this company involved me working at the Houston office for two weeks. Other projects required me to travel to Japan and South Korea in 2005.

Responsible for all aspects of a contract to supply sample cabinets and enclosures to Simon Carves Limited for subsequent installation at the Devonport Dockyard. (Part of the D154 Future Facilities Project)I.H.I. in-cell crane for J.N.F.L. – Produced design layouts and detail drawings for the 5 tonne crane.Thorp B560 Improvements – Responsibilities included leading a small team on a project to supply equipment specific lifting beams and tools for materials handling in and around the main pond. Also responsible for running a design project to improve operator access within the flask preparation bays. This project included site surveys, ergonomic studies, Hazops and general design responsibilities.Produced front-end designs of an encapsulation plant for installation at the U.K.A.E.A. Harwell site working in conjunction with B.E.L.Responsible for the design of an M.E.B. Turning Frame for use in the Thorp complex at Sellafield. Led a small team of detail designers and ensured that the project met with both specification and programme demands and that the budget requirements were met.Key member of the team responsible for the design of a “Breakdown” glovebox (to AECP 59) for use at Burghfield. The glovebox suite consisted of a fume cabinet, transfer tunnel and a main storage / machining cabinet, all linked by transfer trolleys and sliding seal doors. The main cabinet area was designed with an integral sparge pipe system to allow a controlled environment to be maintained.

Responsible for design work on the S.M.P. Fuel Rod manufacturing machines and associated gloveboxes for the B.N.F.L. Sellafield M.O.X. plant.Design input on all gloveboxes including shielded and un-shielded types was carried out in line with both B.N.F.L. standards and Atomic Energy Code AECP 59.The machine itself consists of 5 ‘standard’ gloveboxes, one neutron (jabroc) shielded glovebox and one cabinet. The shielded glovebox contains mechanisms that handle the alpha radioactive MOX pellets. The cans are then transported to other gloveboxes where operations such as end plug fitting, welding and helium leak testing are carried out.

Design and detailing of manufacturing drawings and site survey work for the Wylfa fire barrier project.

Design and draughting work for all types of mining machinery including hoists, winches and manriding vehicles.
