I lead a team of highly-skilled Senior Design Surveyors, performing independent design appraisal calculations for a wide range of pressure equipment to published standards and regulations. I share the budgeting, strategy and training duties in the office, in addition to supporting local IT issues and leading process improvement activities (such as creating new tools to improve efficiency and error-proofing, using Visual Basic for Applications).I also support the development goals of the wider Lloyd's Register organisation through my role as Technical Lead on the Additive Manufacturing (AM) Project, where I lead the technical development and delivery of AM services. I also promote AM through: • delivering presentations at conferences and seminars;• producing articles;• being the technical lead and a final approver of the LR-TWI "Guidance notes for the certification of metallic parts made by additive manufacturing"​;• serving as a contributing member on several standards committees (for example, ISO/TC 261 and the UK National Strategy for Additive Manufacturing).

My responsibilities included:• Undertaking unsupervised design appraisal of various types of pressure vessel, pressure systems and transportable pressure equipment in accordance with recognised codes and standards;• Representing Lloyd’s Register at client meetings and presenting at events, such as the Pressure Vessel Manufacturer's Forum;• Time and cost estimating, direct relationship management of clients and technical delivery of design appraisal work;• Providing technical support and guidance to surveyors and clients regarding the application of pressure vessel codes;• Co-ordination of client work packages for other team members;• Training new personnel in pressure equipment design, finite element analysis (FEA) and software;• Project managing individual work packages, ensuring timely delivery in accordance with agreed internal and customer targets.

My responsibilities included:• Project managing and performing a range of analyses on aerospace test rig instrumentation projects, incorporating pressure vessels and pipework systems, combustors, water-cooled casings, heat shields, gas sampling equipment and lifting/handling equipment;• Producing and checking analytical reports (stress, fluids and heat transfer) and operating within customer-released and statutory design and quality codes, such as PD5500 and ASME VIII Division 1;• Conducting performance testing of bespoke equipment and validation of analysis using test results;• Acting as primary customer contact for the company on projects and responsible for delivering to customer timescales and budgets. This included: producing estimates; undertaking contract reviews; presenting to customers at Design Reviews; organising and leading progress meetings; and providing recovery plans, where necessary;• Leading Risk Analyses, Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analyses (FMECA) and CE Marking (Pressure Equipment, Machinery, Low Voltage and EMC Directives) on major projects;• Expertly using a wide variety of software, including Microsoft Office and Project, Visual Basic, NX/I-DEAS (3D modelling and FE package), and other bespoke software packages;• Responsible for administering the company’s Product Data Management System, arranging external training where necessary or delivering training courses internally. Also responsible for the annual renewal of engineering software packages, reducing costs for three consecutive years;• Representing the company on numerous occasions, whether reporting technically on a project, marketing the company’s capabilities to prospective customers in the UK, Canada and Germany or working with local schools and partaking in engineering awareness initiatives;• Acted as Industrial Liaison Officer between the IMechE and the company in 2003-2004 to help a group of employees achieve Chartered status.

My responsibilities included:• Producing mathematical models of individual submarine systems using the Visual Solutions’ VisSim and the I-Logix Statemate modelling tools;• Working as part of a two-man team designing and developing a mathematical model of the depth-keeping system for the Astute Class submarine (£1M+ contract within a £1B+ project);• Managing project dependencies, acting as point of contact between two major subcontractors, reviewing milestone deliverables and progress reports from the major subcontractor, and reporting to the Platform Director;• Completed Project Management and Systems Engineering courses;• Managing customer requirements and sub-contractor interfaces, and also serving on a number of technical working groups and risk assessment teams;• I completed numerous management training courses, in addition to a nuclear training course at HMS Sultan, in accordance with BR3018.
