Work history
Rotating Equipment Specialist
BAWCo
Bradford, West Yorkshire
2022.04 - Current
- I have progressed from an apprentice to a trusted engineer within the 4 years for which I have worked at Bawco. During which, I made faster than anticipated growth within my skillset which allowed me to rapidly take on more responsibilities and more complex tasks than expected of me by my employer for my level of experience.
- Conducted multiple instances of site work operating as an external contractor maintaining professionalism, efficiency and effective fault finding. Ensuring total compliance with site health and safety policy as well as being responsible for obtaining the necessary work and hot works permits.
- Multiple years of experience fault finding both electrical and mechanical faults following logical and efficient steps to identify the problems and root cause on an extensive range of rotating equipment including alternators exceeding 550KVa, centrifugal and submersible pumps, compressors and gearboxes alongside the drives for such equipment.
- Suggested and successfully implemented improvements to working process in regards to keeping track of each customer job and bringing order to storage areas by designating each shelving unit with a code to make for easier retrieval of components.
- Consistently putting myself forward for new complex and challenging tasks to improve upon my skills and gain further technical experience as a means of accelerating my growth.
