About

Currently working with J. Murphy & Sons as a Full Time Civil Engineer. Spent the first year and a quarter working as a site engineer on a Severn Trent project. This included the transfer of water from one sewage treatment plant to another. Days consisted of Setting out, AutoCAD 2D & 3D drawings, Red-Line drawings, Inspection checklists, Quality assurance checks and Health and safety checks. I am now continuing my learning as an Engineer working on substations to understand the processes that go on behind the scenes. The communication before construction, the plan and funding for a project which goes into the commercial aspect and finally the validity of Engineer Drawings.
