Chronlogical History
| Nov 2002 - | Fuel Cell Integration Limited - Consultant Engineer - Safety and Design Engineering building on Defence and safety related experience gained in Babtie Group for a range of Defence and Industrial clients. |
| Development Engineer - Conception, design and development of fuel cell power systems. | |
| Primarily responsible for market-focussed applications of low to medium power cell arrays. | |
| 2002 - 2002 | Babtie Group - Mechanical Engineer |
| Seconded to Devonport Royal Dockyard (DML) to provide project support during commissioning of the D154 project TSSBN nuclear submarine refit and refuelling facility. | |
| Developed a strategy to maintain the level of boronated water in the reactor pressure vessel and stack-up tower of a TSSBN nuclear submarine during the defuelling process, to ensure that the operator is adequately shielded from radiation, during the removal of irradiated fuel modules and neutron sources. | |
| Organised a trial to investigate the shock loading on a nuclear fuel module, when transported around the yard on the nuclear transfer route, prior to being inserted into the reactor core. Compiled a policy document on the design of nuclear lifting equipment/arrangements to comply with the Devonport Nuclear Safety Principles. | |
| Worked with the Reactor Access House project team and liased with Rolls Royce to ensure that documentation was in place and project approved in time for inactive commissioning of the refuelling equipment and systems. | |
| Contributed to the Inactive Commissioning Safety Report | |
| 2001 - 2002 | Babtie Group (Devonport Division/Nuclear Projects), Exeter - Assistant Professional Engineer |
| Seismic qualification of structures and equipment in nuclear facilities (submarine refit facilities and civil nuclear sites), including: | |
| - Crossover castings between the Nuclear Transfer Route and dockside crane rails; and submarine docking cradles, at Devonport Royal Dockyard (including 3-D solid finite element modelling). | |
| - Building structures and overhead cranes at both Winfrith and Harwell nuclear licensed sites. | |
| 2000 - 2000 | Babtie Group, Exeter - Assistant Engineer (Summer Placement) |
| Member of the design team for the Power Range Testing Berth at the submarine refit complex, Devonport Royal Dockyard. Analysis of its predicted movement due to seismic loading, and design of ground anchorages to restrain it. | |
| 1999 - 1999 | GKN Westland Transmissions, Yeovil - Assistant Engineer (Summer Placement) |
| Development of a system for the interpretation of material testing data used in the design and testing of parts for the EH101 European helicopter | |
| Investigation of a system for dynamically balancing the radial driveshaft of the gas turbine engines for the Boeing 717 passenger aircraft |
