Summary

Motivated Product Design and Development Technician/Maintenance Engineer spending my 16 years since leaving school with great interest and working in the Engineering/Manufacturing industry. My qualifications cover Electrical and Mechanical Engineering although I am Mechanically biased as I have a lot more experience working in the Mechanical sector.

Outside of work I enjoy cars, motorbikes and anything wheels and engines. I like to buy projects to fix/complete which my qualifications in work have helped me to achieve outside of work. Similarly work I have carried out on projects has helped me gain knowledge that I have transferred to the workplace.

I am also very keen on my health and fitness and I partake in a lot of boxing training and long distance running.
