- Helping new employees within my department, learning management skills and improving job proficiency- My skills in surveying and problem solving developed further, by leading site measures and practicing on-site drafting.

This production role involves 3D CAD modeling, producing technical drawings for both fabrication and installation. It involves communication within all departments at JP engineering, as well as to the construction companies we are sub contracted under.-Through accurate drawings and iterative improvement, I was able to help JP Engineering grow from an 8-person company, to one with up to 25. - From the initial drafting processes that were created myself, I was then able… Show more This production role involves 3D CAD modeling, producing technical drawings for both fabrication and installation. It involves communication within all departments at JP engineering, as well as to the construction companies we are sub contracted under.-Through accurate drawings and iterative improvement, I was able to help JP Engineering grow from an 8-person company, to one with up to 25. - From the initial drafting processes that were created myself, I was then able to adapt my thinking to a variety of jobs from high-end office refurbishments to multistory earthquake-strengthening projects. - Got successful at creating technical drawings that can be easily interpreted by a range of professionals including engineers, architects, project managers, steel erectors and steel fabricators.

This was a continuation of my final year project, which was to create a system to recycle the light-proof bottles that the cafes at AUT use. While working over the summer, I designed a recycled plastic sheet press and helped build a plastic shredding machine.-  The mechanical design software ANSYS (FEA) and Solidworks (3D CAD) were used to help design the machines in collaboration with an industrial design student from the school of art and design.-  Work was completed with… Show more This was a continuation of my final year project, which was to create a system to recycle the light-proof bottles that the cafes at AUT use. While working over the summer, I designed a recycled plastic sheet press and helped build a plastic shredding machine.-  The mechanical design software ANSYS (FEA) and Solidworks (3D CAD) were used to help design the machines in collaboration with an industrial design student from the school of art and design.-  Work was completed with on-site welders as well as some of our own workshop access, learning about fabrication and machine building firsthand.-  The project was completed within a tight budget and time pressure, with one machine still being used for future learning.

I worked as a sales assistant and delivery driver for a well-known wine retailer while studying full time at AUT.-Gained many people and social collaboration skills, which are extremely helpful for effective working environments.

This job was the first mechanical design industry experience I undertook, learning about Engineering R&D, Engineering business and cross-field Engineering collaboration. I was researching and designing more efficient fans, including investigating new drafting and mechanical simulation software.-Have learnt the basics of ANSYS and can simulate moving fan designs, being able to simulation multiple types of flow for cold stores and fan ducts.- I had access to a… Show more This job was the first mechanical design industry experience I undertook, learning about Engineering R&D, Engineering business and cross-field Engineering collaboration.

This job involved assisting maintenance engineers in solving problems in an industrial environment. This work was carried out on Sundays to ensure the plant could continuously run through the week.-  Made sure all tools and supplies were accessible and all safety requirements were met to allow an efficient work environment.-  Long shifts of 8–12 hours meant focus and problem-design efficacy were needed for extended periods of time under pressure.-  Gained a basic… Show more This job involved assisting maintenance engineers in solving problems in an industrial environment.
