PROFILE
In 2008 I started at Shevington High School, I stayed there continuing my studies up until
reaching year 10 where I chose my GCSE subjects of choice which were ICT, English
language, English Literature, Dual Award Science, Graphic Design, Media, Mathematics and
Geography. The results I received allowed me to be accepted into my first choice college which
was Wigan UTC. There I started a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Engineering, with a
predicted target grade of three distinctions.. Due to my hard work and determination I have
exceeded my targets and successfully achieved two distinction star grades and one distinction.
Throughout my short time at Wigan UTC I developed my communication and organisation skills
and learnt how to work effectively in a team and also independently.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
● ​ ​In year 12 Wigan UTC hosted an awards evening, I was proud to be presented with the
privileged accolade of ​‘Engineer of the year​’ by the politician Esther McVey and also
received accreditation for ​‘100% attendance’
● ​Throughout my time at Wigan UTC I worked as a student ambassador, this entailed
taking on extra responsibilities, acting as a student voice for my peers who had
concerns, attending meetings with the principle and other student ambassadors to
discuss students views, areas of improvements and future plans. Although this was not
part of my role I volunteered to attend all open evenings meet with prospective students
and guardians giving them a guided tour and general insight into the college’s ethos,
standards and achievements One of my proudest moments was meeting Prince Edward
the Earl of Wessex while participating in one of these events, overall my diverse
experience of speaking with people from various backgrounds has enabled me to
improve my social and communication skills and I can now communicate at all levels
with confidence.
● ​I participated in a ‘D​ragons Den’​ business challenge in 2014. This included coming up
with an idea, a theme and a product which we could manufacture and then sell to the
public. My team of four decided on a new flavour of soup, tomato and chilli we worked
closely together on the design, saleability, taste and cost effectiveness which resulted in
the group winning an award for the ​‘best teamwork’.
● ​For 11 years I remained captain of Shevington Football Club where I won many trophies
the most meaningful of which was The Players Player of the Year for 7 years running,
however after the team disbanded I went on to captain Appley Bridge Football Club.
This year I have been presented with both Player of the Year and Players Player of the
Year which was a very proud achievement for me.

2. EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE
From January 2013 to date I acquired a work placement at MES Precision Engineering based in
Bryn. I initially worked on small projects, gaining knowledge of the basic tasks, work ethics and
requirements of the position. As my practical and theoretical skills developed I progressed to
larger projects which required me to use the Cad Software OneCNC which allowed me to
design individual components for the oil and gas industry, further training allowed me to
operate the CNC machines and manuals from which I learnt different milling and machining
techniques such as climb and conventional milling. At MES Precision Engineering I completed
my training as a CAD technician and CNC operator, this involved receiving a physical
orthographic drawing of a product, producing a replica including manufacturing preferences
such as Feed Rate and Spindle Speed on a CAD software such as OneCNC. Finally to
manufacture the product I used either the Haas 3 axis CNC milling machines or Haas CNC
lathe.
In March 2014 I secured a part time job at Gathurst Golf Club as a glass collector, I was
promoted after 3 months to bartender and now work regular shifts after college and at
weekends. My duties include keeping the bar stocked, serving customers, cashing
up/reconciling the till and locking up the premises. In my role I have to show many different skills
and qualities which include a high level of customer service, being confident and self motivated,
being trustworthy and reliable, hardworking, a good team player and being able to communicate
well at all levels.

SKILLS
Over the last two years at college and work experience I have developed a variety of technical
and personal skills. I would consider myself as a trustworthy individual which is depicted by the
responsibility given to me by my Manager at Gathurst Golf Club to lock up and secure the
premises after closing time or events, also by my Director of MES allowing me to work
independently on CNC machinery to fulfil potential orders.
I am a friendly, polite and a good team player which is essential for working in a bar, being part
of a team at MES and being able to communicate with people of all levels. I am a hard working,
highly motivated person, who is determined and eager to learn new skills and to develop further
knowledge within the many sectors of engineering.
I have gained many technical skills over the past two years the most prominent of which are, I
can confidently use different software packages AutoDesk Inventor, ONECNC, Siemens Solid
edge, CAD software with experience gained from both MES and UTC.
I have a keen eye for precision as this was evident while working at MES as the parameters
meant that components had to be manufactured to 0.5 of a mm. I have also been trained and
can work confidently on Haas 3 axis CNC milling machines, older machinery including milling
machines and lathes as these were the original pieces of equipment used when I began my
work experience on small projects.
I have recently been shortlisted for an apprenticeship position at Rolls Royce having had to
complete a personal presentation, a technical presentation, a competency interview and
psychometric tests.
