• 700 & Above Employee

• Undergraduate Engineer

  • Jul 2014 - Aug 2015

  12 Month Industrial Placement (Full Time) I completed my industrial placement at Royal Haskoning within the Building services department working as part of the electrical design Team. While working at Royal Haskoning I undertook work on a range of international and domestic projects including a shipyard in Kazakhstan, an Energy from Waste facility near Worcester and a training college in Daventry. My responsibilities at Royal Haskoning included producing detailed and concept electrical designs, undertaking site visits with senior engineers, updating electrical design drawings and assisting in document control. Working on the different projects at Royal Haskoning allowed me to gain significant technical experience and knowledge in the following areas. - LV Distribution Design - Small Power & Data Detailed Design - Lighting Design - Building Load Estimates - Process and Admin Building Feed Design - Building Lightning Protection Design - Material Quantities calculation As well as gaining technical knowledge and experience I also gained experience in project and design management. One of the key lessons learnt was the importance of a detailed design log that includes design revisions and details about the changes between the different revisions. This is important for quality control, technical and commercial reasons. While working at Royal Haskoning I undertook 4 site visits with two based in the UK and two based in the Netherlands. The first visit was to Grangemouth Falkirk as part of a HV grid study, the second was to the Ford Daventry Training College to inspect the instillation of the building services, the third was to the Nuon District heating facility in Almere and the final visit was to the new Eon Maasvlakte Power Plant 3. The final two visits were part of an exchange were I worked out of Royal Haskonings Rotterdam office and visited the sites in more of an educational capacity. Show less



Kirklees Active Leisure

• Leisure Attendant

  • 2010 - 2014

  Lifeguard on casual (0 hours) contract. While undertaking my A Level studies and the first three years of my degree I worked for Kirklees Active Leisure (KAL) at Scissett Swimming Baths as a leisure attendant. My responsibilities at KAL involved cleaning the entire site to maintain hygiene and safety, lifeguard public swimming sessions, run activity sessions and pool parties. Alongside gaining lifesaving and first aid skills while working for KAL I also gained significant experience in working and interacting with a wide variety of different people with varying ages, abilities and backgrounds. I worked as part of a team to provide a safe, clean and fun environment for customers to partake in leisure activities. Working at KAL significantly improved my communication and ability to remain calm and act accordingly during a difficult situation such as rescuing a person or dealing with an angry customer.
