- Currently managing the full project lifecycle for multiple concurrent projects in the oil and gas industry. - Responsibilities include drafting client-focused proposals, developing project plans, securing resources, maintaining clear client communication, and providing technical direction to ensure successful delivery.

- Facilitated stakeholder needs elicitation sessions with commercial and technical teams, then developed system requirements and verification methods for electrolyser products in alignment with the V-model.- Performed theoretical and empirical analysis of electrolysis cell performance to provide insights into design trade-offs and support the development of optimal operating strategies.

- Held accountability for delivery of mechanical sub-systems for next-generation Hydrogen fuel cell stack products.- Led a team of 8-10 mechanical engineers in iterative design and substantiation of component specifications, fostering a highly effective unit through technical leadership and line management.- Creatively applied engineering principles to generate novel solutions to fuel cell stack design problems, resulting in being named as inventor in multiple patent filings.- Managed technical risk using DRBFM (similar to DFMEA), executing rig tests and creating concise reports to validate design decisions.- Enhanced project delivery through agile methodologies, prioritising tasks based on skills and reviewing outputs for quality assurance through a high-paced sprint cycle.- Facilitated communication with stakeholders and clients, presenting progress updates and securing approvals for design changes, leading to successful project outcomes.

- Took responsibility for all of the business’s operations after a short handover from the incumbent operations lead, whilst maintaining smooth continuation of high quality service to customers throughout.- Optimised operational processes using SQL and Redash to reduce manual intervention throughout.- Reduced average helmet delivery time from six to four weeks by implementing improved processes in assembly and fulfilment stages of the supply chain.

Nottingham, United Kingdom

- Designed high-performing machine subsystems, including concept generation, basic and detailed CAD, manufacture and validation, by using an iterative design process involving prototyping and DFMEA. - Reduced dimensional tolerances of 3D printed parts by 70% by developing a metrology test part in collaboration with a team of university experts, programming a Mitutoyo CMM to measure the part and using Taguchi design of experiments techniques to formulate and analyse printing tests.- Created a build job reporting sheet containing essential data on printed part properties in an easy to digest format, helping management and customers understand and monitor machine performance.- Led a small team to design and conduct tests on all mechanical subsystems of a prototype machine, validated the machine’s achievement of PES criteria and provided management with key data.- Integrated inkjet system into the 3D printer, using an interface matrix and functional block diagram to highlight interfaces with other systems. Achieved high quality inkjet printing onto powder surface at 190℃.- Became the primary point of contact between technical teams at Xaar 3D’s Nottingham and Copenhagen offices due to ability to communicate complex issues clearly and concisely.- Provided management with actionable insights into the Additive Manufacturing industry by performing a market research campaign in collaboration with the marketing department to steer market positioning and roadmap for the product.- Achieved professional registration as a Chartered Engineer and a Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers by aligning work objectives with the competencies of the Engineering Council specification.

Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom

- Developed mechanical aptitude in the workshop, interpersonal skills on the shop floor, also was frequently consulted by the owner on business matters such as stocking strategies, recruitment and marketing.

- Completed a large project investigating the dynamic properties of a number of machine tools.- Trained a number of machine operators on my experimental technique, thus enabling this research to extend beyond my internship.

- Received an introduction to CAD through extensive use of Solidworks, progressing to moderately complex modelling of remotely operated underwater vehicle components.

Master’S Degree, Meng Mechanical Engineering, First Class Honours

Activities and Societies: Held positions of Road Captain and President of the University of Sheffield Cycling Club.- Final year project.
