Developed and managed a department of 20, in line with the organic growth of the servicing business in Australia and New Zealand.

Responsible for leading the team of engineers, who service the entire installed fleet of Fresenius Kabi infusion and transfusion technology in Australia. Consequently, grew the team of engineers to 5 in line with the servicing business. The Fenwal acquisition expanded my experience by undertaking certification and field servicing on their range of plasma apheresis and blood processing system equipment.

Completed technical training and certification (both locally and internationally) on the entire range of Fresenius Kabi Australia medical devices. This included infusion, transfusion and auto-transfusion devices supplied to public and private hospitals throughout Australia. With the other team members, completed pre-delivery testing, repair, calibration and annual on-site preventative maintenance for infusion devices that resulted from winning the NSW Health infusion pump contract.

Under the leadership and guidance of Pär Löfgren (co-owner of Microkdidt AB) I developed and completed their next generation design using Solidworks. The project involved producing 3D CAD assemblies and 2D drawings for their patented electronic equipment for the health industry. These professional enclosures resulted from working closely with the staff and Mikrodidakt and involved personal creativity, management and resourcefulness while our conception spawned from planning, to prototype and then production. This equipment is used throughout the world including clinics in Australia.
