    • Eastern Airways (UK) Ltd

      Jul 2016 - Aug 2016
      Aeronautical Engineer

      Work experience with Eastern Airways allowed me to join the pilots in the cockpit, flying from Aberdeen to the Shetland Islands. However the days spent with the maintenance engineers, diagnosing both electrical and mechanical issues and implementing solutions to get the aircraft back in the air, were the most inspiring. This week provided me with an extremely useful insight into the work of maintenance engineers and gave me my first taste of hands on problem solving.

      Aug 2016 - Sept 2016
      Aeronautical Engineer

      I was lucky enough to secure work experience with Bristows Helicopters, Aberdeen. During this time I was taught the principles of engine power, lift, drag and fuselage design in a classroom environment where I gained a basic understanding of the forces which an aircraft must withstand. I also got a chance to fly an Airbus Eurocopter EC225 training simulator, a childhood dream of mine. This experience gave me an insight into a different industry with multiple applications of engineering.

      Engineering Work Experience

      During this work experience I travelled to the Grangemouth oil and gas terminal. I spent time with the plant engineers who showed me the heart of the gas separation process and I worked with them as they solved an array of day to day problems. I was also lucky enough to be invited into the engine room of a 600,000 barrel Afromax crude oil tanker which was astonishing. This experience provided me with new information about the industry and motived me to pursue a career in engineering.

      Lifeguard

      Working as a lifeguard presents multiple problems and pressures during each shift. As a team we have the responsibility to look after all the occupants of the pool and we are trained to preserve life if anything dangerous happens. The training is rigorous and high standards are maintained. This job has allowed me to build on my confidence and communication skills.

      Jun 2021 - Sept 2021
      Mechanical Engineering Intern

      I was delighted to be given the opportunity to work with Glacier Energy on an alternative energy project. During the summer months, I worked closely with mechanical, chemical and design engineers to develop a bespoke hydrogen energy storage vessel. The product was designed to provide a portable and efficient energy storage solution for remote locations, disconnected from the national grid. This experience significantly developed my communication and presentation skills and grew my knowledge of the renewables sector. Show less
