Jul 2013 - Jun 2015
During the 18 month Engineering graduate scheme I moved around the business undertaking a number of attachments completing various key engineering projects. I completed a strategic research project on Hydrogen as a fuel providing a status report on global research, and a position statement of where Hydrogen could fit into the complete Rolls-Royce product portfolio in the future. I also completed a competitor analysis of a leading competitor to Rolls-Royce’s marine sector. Working as part of a team I investigated innovative life-cycle cost reduction techniques for the internal gearbox of a large turbofan engine following a systems engineering approach, which covered: component design, manufacture, assembly, service, etc. This included researching new manufacturing, assembly and joining methods, interviewing experts to gather and record valuable information, as well as conceptual design of multiple potential improvements. I also developed an interactive tool for navigating through the information which was placed on the company’s intranet page for use by future designers. Supported performance modelling of next generation turbofan engines, as well as acting as the performance project focal for a European funded engine study. I managed the early engagement stage of a new modification to a turbine test rig, capturing requirements and engaging with the supplier and also helped with a fan blade off test rig build for a new turbofan engine, managing the customers and suppliers of the fan case instrumentation processes. My final project involved evaluating a new version of the Rolls-Royce engine dynamic structural modelling software, comparing against the previous version ensuring a consistent transition. This increased my understanding of FEA and appreciation for the use of this analysis technique.

Summer Placement Student

Jun 2012 - Sep 2012
I worked for the operations department under the site development manager at Devonport Royal Dockyard. This role involved identifying, preparing and initialising Capital Expenditure (Capex) projects to be funded by either the Naval Bases or Submarines Business Units spread throughout the Dockyard. Preparing the Capex projects involved developing a thorough understanding of the requirement for each planned expenditure, in both the technical and wider business/financial reasoning. I was able to experience and work with many different departments and people within the company which allowed me to improve my commercial awareness and my managerial skills. Whilst within the operations department I also had the opportunity to work with a project manager during the early setup stages of a multi-million pound improvement project for the dockyard. This helped me to develop my understanding of the structure and planning of large projects and how projects mature from the initial idea stages into a fully funded, key-business project. I learnt about the need for a detailed scope of work, accurate and reliable information & documentation tracking processes and the need for a comprehensive project plan. This placement helped me to develop my written communication skills, project management skills, time management, commercial awareness and strategic thinking.

Jul 2010 - Aug 2011
During my industrial placement I was responsible for tests carried out on the prototype Telehandlers against key EU regulations; with a focus on identifying, investigating and reporting incidents and failures within the powertrain system. I had a central role in the creation and improvement of the in -house test department, leading the test team whilst also being involved in the writing of test procedures and test scheduling. I used many different test software and instrumentation, such as eDAQs, during the tests and created reports and summary presentations for my superiors.

Jun 2005 - Sep 2010
Every school holiday I was employed by my parents to work on their farm. Over the years this work involved several different jobs including tractor driving, forklift driving and stacking bags of potatoes. I also helped my father fix several tractors and pieces of machinery when they broke down. These experiences and my curiosity into the workings of the machinery were what first peaked my interest in engineering. Every school holiday I was employed by my parents to work on their farm.
