Drax, England, United Kingdom

Drawsign at Drax Power Station. Responsible for creating and updating technical drawings using 2D and 3D CAD software, primarily AutoCAD. Key tasks include producing P&ID, mechanical, and isometric drawings, conducting detailed site surveys, and up-revisioning legacy drawings. Actively involved in large project planning, with a strong focus on adhering to health and safety standards throughout all stages of design and implementation.

Ferrybridge, England, United Kingdom

In this role, I applied a blend of previously learned disciplines alongside new skills developed over the years. I was solely responsible for reverse engineering, 3D solid modelling, 2D drafting, CAD CAM CNC programming, inspection, CMM inspection, and managing medium-sized projects. My daily tasks involved utilizing a wide range of skills, depending on the complexity of the components, which were primarily from the power generation sector. This required flexibility and strong problem-solving abilities. I oversaw each project from start to finish, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and care at every stage.

South Shields, England, United Kingdom

As a CAM Engineer, I was responsible for creating programs for various CNC milling machines, ensuring efficient production flow. I used Alphacam Ultimate R1 to program 3, 4, and 5-axis jobs, posting them directly to the machines for operators to upload. Additionally, I utilized SolidWorks and Catia to design parts for manufacturing. For complex projects, I designed custom tooling and coordinated its production with a local supplier. I also designed specialized fixtures, vice jaws, and mandrels for unique components, contributing to the overall precision and efficiency of the manufacturing process.

Various Locations

From October to November 2014, I worked as a contractor with various Formula 1 teams, including Force India, Red Bull, and Ferrari in Maranello. I contributed to projects in multiple wind tunnels and produced parts for full-scale race cars using advanced CNC machinery, such as HERMLE and DMG 5-axis milling machines. This fast-paced environment required the production of high-quality aerodynamic components, along with making real-time modifications based on feedback from aerodynamicists

Seaham, England, United Kingdom

Over the course of five years at The Fin Machine Company, I developed a broad range of skills in CNC machining and engineering. As a multi-skilled apprentice, I gained hands-on experience in manual machining (milling, turning, and surface grinding), worked in the design office using SolidWorks and AutoCAD, and specialized in CNC turning, EDM wire erosion, and CNC milling. By the end of my apprenticeship, I became proficient in both Fanuc and Heidenhain online programming.Upon completing my apprenticeship, I transitioned into a full-time CNC Machinist role, where I operated Bridgeport VMC 1000 and VMC 750 machines with Heidenhain controllers. I later expanded my expertise by working with HAAS 4th-axis milling machines using Fanuc controls. My responsibilities included programming, setting up, and operating machines to meet targets, while maintaining high-quality output. Additionally, I took on the responsibility of training apprentices on job setups and CNC programming.
