Projects worked on:

2022-Now: Business planning for electric buses & Light Commercial Vehicles

Creating a profitable business plan for the next few years for a relatively established bus and light commercial vehicle manufacturer. Working with international teams to gather market intelligence and create a product portfolio that supports the planned volumes and compliments the existing manufacturing footprint.

2018-2022: Product planning for new electric cars

Programme management and product strategy in the early phases of new vehicles. Worked on many programmes that never saw the light of day!

2016-2018: Vehicle architecting for new electric cars

Took on more ownership and worked in a small 'concept' team where we schemed a new electric car platform that could be physically altered to cater for different types of car.

2014-2016: Vehicle packaging for new sports cars

Developed a driving position for a new sports car and developed all the associated packaging of related parts and did checks to ensure compliant with all required regulations.

2012-2014: Component & system designing for all kinds of cars & motorbikes

Utlised my earlier knowledge in managing my work and my contacts made to join a consultancy to work on various projects for the automotive industry and learnt a tonne about how to design parts, the different ways to manufacture them, skinning my knuckles learning how to put the systems together and test them.

2011-2012: Model designing for new sports cars

After graduating I did a couple of jobs contracting for a few months utilising the skills I picked up at university taking an additional module for a CAD package that wasn't traditionally taught in the main curriculum. This opened some doors in a tough job market (for me personally) and led to working on designing jigs for an F1 car and desigining parts for a full scale model of a new sports car that was later shelved (unfortunately!).
