At a 1MW anaerobic digester site, I supported the commissioning of 2 500kW combined heat and power (CHP) plants, designing and specifying piping systems to transfer digested waste to an industrial dryer. I also developed insulated piping systems to capture excess CHP heat for residential heating pellet production. Additionally, I participated in installing these systems, utilising electrofusion welding techniques.

As a Sales Executive in Nesta, a self-storage company, I managed a large, mixed-use commercial space on weekends, responsible for securing the premises by unlocking and locking up. My role included driving revenue by closing sales, proactively reaching out to potential customers, and managing payment processes. I handled direct debits, monitored accounts in arrears, and ensured a seamless customer experience in the facility.
