I worked as a member of a busy team under constant pressure and provided an excellent service to customers, catering to their needs and gaining experience in the service sector. I developed a vast understanding of food safety, and was also entrusted with ensuring stock levels were sufficient.

John Lewis is a large retail store with a busy atmosphere. The role required that I talk to customers to gauge their requirements and resolve their queries quickly and efficiently to ensure a smooth customer flow. It is a high-stress environment (especially at Christmas time), which required that I build rapport quickly with customers to ensure their needs are catered for and so that they have a good experience.

MACAW is an independent engineering consultancy offering solutions to technical problems associated with the management, operation and integrity of plant and pipeline systems. We provide integrity management strategies for the oil and gas industry, covering both onshore and offshore plant and pipelines. These strategies are used to maintain the integrity of ageing assets and extending their service life. Where new developments are proposed by operators (frequently those involving existing infrastructure), we identify and analyse technical issues that may impact on the future integrity of a project in order to specify an optimised plan.Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, the company was formed in 1996 by 4 senior engineers from the former British Gas Engineering Research Station. MACAW currently employs over 90 people, the majority of whom have a graduate level qualification in a relevant technical discipline. Over 50% of staff have post graduate qualifications or Professional Engineering status, with many of our principal consultants having over 20 years industrial experience.

Masters group project: Development of a pico hydro generation system for third-world countries. This was a hands-on project that created a model starting from a concept, to a 3D model, physical testing, and finally in analysis of results and the proposal of a pico hydro system. This took into account manufacturing and project planning considerations, as well as environmental and ethical concerns. 70% * Advanced Mechanics (harmonic oscillation, finite element analysis) * Renewable Energy Technology (wind turbines, renewable and sustainable energy, and biomass gasification) * Design for “X” (Six Sigma, FMEA, Manufacturability, Sustainability, and Corrosion) * Mathematics (Integration, Differentiation, Laplace Transform, Vectors, Matrices) * Virtual Design and Digital Simulation for Product Development (advanced CAD, use of SolidWorks, ANSYS FEA). * Computational Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer (Fin heat transfer, use of ANSYS Fluent, etc.).
