As the Process Engineer, I provide technical support at our sewage treatment sites in either the Home Counties or Thames Valley areas. I support the Operations teams to deliver process performance and ensure asset availability and resilience.My areas of focus include asset availability, process security, power generation, energy consumption, chemical usage, sludge dewatering, and both temporary and permanent solutions. I ensure the availability of import and reception centres, facilitate a smooth return to operation with minimal business impact, and compile cost of failure, Return to Operation, timescales, and lessons learned data.I use my understanding of the sewage treatment process to minimize treatment costs while ensuring compliance with discharge permits. I am exposed to a variety of sites and projects, directly contributing to their success by assisting in their return to operation and potential design, commissioning, and integration of both temporary and permanent solutions.My day-to-day input directly contributes to the wastewater operational strategic goals of reducing waste and improving operational efficiency. I use my technical expertise to influence and advise operational and project teams, as well as procurement and other commercial departments.

I am responsible for the development and management of mass balance and resilience models of water treatment assets, to assess their performance under a range of scenarios for regulatory reporting and supporting asset investment planning. My current work includes:• Working with Research and Development to develop a mass balance model to support investment in pile cloth filtration (Mecana) upstream of our Large Production Plants in London;• Pinch point studies to identify areas of improvement in treatment work capability;• Establishing objectives and reporting lines to support various stakeholders within the business.

My contribution to our business is in the line of assessing the process treatment capabilities of all our clean water production sites. Using excel models, I am able to simulate different scenarios in terms of flow, water quaility and equipment performance to be able to assess the resilience of our water treatment sites. Results from these simulation helps to provide an informed decisions in terms of risk and prioritise investmentsWorked on simulating the effects of high iron content in water within a matrix of variables.

I successfully optimized and re-integrated a Digital Rail Inspection System which has helped to drastically reduce customer complaints for rail surface defects. Failed re-integration projects in the past meant that the system was neglected for 9 years but I was able to deliver the project in 9 months Benefits of the system includes: - Eliminating human error in the current method of manual visual inspections - Increase product reliability - Improve the efficiency of Non- destructive testing process - Eliminate delays in operations My role involved - Making sure the inline equipment is installed properly - Daily operations and maintenance- Running regular trials to gain further understanding of the systems capabilities- Tracking systems performance by establishing and using key performance indicators- Regular hardware and software optimisation - Satisfying the needs of the relevant stakeholders of the system- Training operators on how to use the system
