I completed eight three-month placements across operations, fleet (train) maintenance, track maintenance, Jubilee & Northern Line upgrade projects, Crossrail, strategy & sponsorship development and the IMechE Railway Challenge. These placements were a fantastic opportunity to provide a fresh perspective to identify shortfalls, propose projects to address them, gain approval and set them up to ultimately deliver improvement solutions in only three months.

These placements were a fantastic opportunity to provide a fresh perspective to identify shortfalls, propose projects to address them, gain approval and set them up to ultimately deliver improvement solutions in only three months. I was also a member of the 2016 TfL Railway Challenge team, where I designed & built a 1/5 scale locomotive. This project was completed with 6 other TfL graduates, where we followed the TfL project management tool called Pathway, gaining good exposure to project management techniques. I was responsible for the design & build of the drivetrain and also managed the manufacture of the train, directing apprentices and my colleagues. This resulted in competing against other companies and universities in 8 different challenges to test the different features of the locomotive. We came 2nd overall and 1st in the design and presentation challenges. Show less
