About
With more than 29 years working in engineering environments, I have gained extensive experience in designing and developing products for the Defence, Space, and Automotive industries.
Over the past five and a half years, I have contracted my skills and services to SMEs and Start-ups, delivering immediate value as an engineer who understands broader business needs, project planning, and BOM control. I am adept at building relationships and communicating effectively with multi-disciplinary teams and manufacturing personnel.
My personal interest and deep understanding of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) have consistently benefited my work in engineering environments. I have extensive experience utilizing industry-leading CAD software, including Pro/ENGINEER, CREO, and SolidWorks, over many years. This hands-on practice has enabled me to deploy these tools effectively within business settings, optimizing design workflows and supporting project objectives.
Through my career I have successfully designed and drafted Weldments, Large Structures, Castings, Machined components, Plastic Components, Sheetmetal components, Cable Assemblies, Modules, General Assemblies, Jigs and Fixtures.
Product Portfolio: Metal Detectors, Conveyor Reject Systems, Bespoke Machinery, Manual Welding Guns, Robotic Welding Guns, Large format Touchscreens, Slip-rings, Encoders, Resolvers), Rotational interfaces, WAV conversion kits for new vehicles, GEO/MEO/LEO Large Dish Antenna systems.
