Created bespoke Energy Monitoring and Feedback Systems to enable Works Managers to do the same in future themselves.

During my Consultancy Sessions in the UK I was Headhunted by Wessex Water Utilities to pre-design and supervise and monitor the Installation of a 5 MW Combined Heat and Power Plant for their Avonmouth Sewage Works of the same over a period of 2 years.

  Institution of Green Power & Diesel Engineering (IGPDE)

  Jan 2007 - Sept 2009

  Owner, Director & CHP Section Head

  The mission of the Institution of Green Power and Diesel Engineering (IGPDE) was to meet the engineering, academic, cultural, social and individual needs of it's members, for them to make a meaningful contribution to a Green Society in general! It provided a forum setting that encouraged members to reach their full potential engineering wise, academically and socially. Members were encouraged to participate in all activities of the IGPDE, but it was left to each member to what extend they were making use or contributing to the aims of the Institution! The reason I had closed this Institution which I had started in 2007 out of Enthusiasm for Diesel Engineering, was that I was further developing my life and concentrating more and more on Environmentalism, carrying out private studies to keep up with latest Green Environment and Energy Technologies which culminated in 2012 when I was appointed a Chartered Environmentalist by the Society of Chartered Environmentalists (SocEnv), the aims of this Society you can see at: socenv.org.uk Show less
