Product Designer at QI Van Systems. Responsible for designing vehicle conversions across a range of environments such as energy, telecoms and construction. The main responsibility is managing projects from sales concept through to the initial prototype and production, ensuring clear communication throughout the design process and between sales and production to ensure a project's success. Key tasks include but are not limited to, concept design, project management, design development, design for production, fabrication and mechanical design. Since the commencement of this employment I feel that I have gained invaluable industry, engineering and management experience as well as developing my design portfolio. I have also gained personal development skills such as confidence in presenting and clearly demonstrating my ideas, and working within a collaborative environment. https://www.qivansystems.co.uk

Telford, United Kingdom

Product Designer at Bakerbellfield. Responsible for designing commercial interior solutions across a range of environments such as airports, rail interiors and offices. The main responsibility is managing projects from cradle to grave, ensuring a clear line of communication throughout the design process. Key tasks include, concept design, project management, design development, design for production, fabrication and mechanical design. This is achieved through regular team meetings and maintaining a hands on approach to any problem solving that may be required throughout the project and communicating this with all members, which will ultimately result in the project being released for first article inspection and, later production. https://bakerbellfield.co.uk/

Ludlow

Lead Design Engineer for small scale Anaerobic Digestion Plants. Controlling multiple simultaneous projects. Key tasks include but are not limited to, whole design, site problem solving, project management, fabrication design, mechanical process design and producing renders for graphical marketing material. As a lead Designer I would be directly responsible for multiple projects and leading the design team, which involves management of junior engineers and apprentices. This requires leading regular project meetings and delegating tasks to ensure a projects success and completion to time and budget. A very varied and hands on role to ensure a lean and robust final product. Since the commencement of this employment I feel that I have gained invaluable industry, engineering and management experience as well as developing my design portfolio.

During my time as a design engineer I have developed and progressed skills in manufacture for injection moulding, bringing new products to mass production. Tedd Engineering's methodology relied heavily on the use of manufacturing methods such as CNC machining and vacuum forming for production and prototype purposes. The Bsc Design and Technology course offers a lot more than learning to draw and think with affluence, it has also helped me gain skills in engineering design, eco design, furniture design, shape design and a variety of additional industrial design projects. In particular, I have developed computer aided design skills (CAD). This means that I am able to understand not only the process of designing a product but in fact, the whole process of creating a product from the initial concept right through to the final manufactured product. Such skills have been solidified and developed during my time as an employee for Tedd Engineering. As a result of my experiences of the industry of design so far, I am looking forward to fulfilling my aspirations, with a career in the ever changing and constantly developing world of design.
