My four years at University has given me skills in a variety of engineering techniques, these include advanced mathematics, thermo-dynamics and stress analysis. In parallel to these modules I was involved in various individual and team projects which developed my problem solving and technical report writing abilities. In my penultimate and final years I specialized in design which entailed taking complex modules in gearbox design and design for production. In my final year at University I was the team leader for a project that entailed the designing, building and testing of two unique domestic scale wind turbines. The design of the wind turbines was completed using the 3D CAD software Autodesk Inventor. The hard work of me and my team was recognized and resulted in the project achieving the highest mark of the year.

Earlier this year, we signed the Nuclear Industry Association's Women in Nuclear charter. A few months on, our Associate Director, Jade Haskins, shares her perspective on the progress being made and the work still to do to improve gender balance in the nuclear sector. 👉 Read more: https://tur.town/4lrzo80 As part of our commitment, we’ve pledged to: ✔ Address unequal gender representation across the traditional occupational groups employed within our company. ✔ Review and remove potential barriers for women and under-represented groups’ entry into their company. ✔ Increase transparency of opportunities for development and progression, to support the retention and career progression of women and other under-represented groups in their company. #WomenInNuclear

Heavy lifting as engineer makes history “The patent-pending design is a testament to the strength of our region’s engineering and manufacturing talent and its vital role in advancing offshore wind infrastructure.” A Tees Valley engineering firm has unveiled a record-breaking creation made in Middlesbrough. MultiSec Engineered Lifting Systems, supported by Durham Lifting, has produced the largest C-Hook ever manufactured in the UK. The bespoke lifting device was engineered for the SeAH Wind monopile factory and marks a major milestone for British manufacturing.

FIVE PUMPED STORAGE HYDRO PROJECTS PROGRESS IN OFGEM’S LONG-DURATION STORAGE SCHEME Ofgem has confirmed that 77 projects have passed the eligibility stage of the government’s Long Duration Electricity Storage (LDES) cap and floor support scheme. The regulator received 171 applications, of which fewer than half met the criteria to proceed to full project assessment. Among the technologies approved are five pumped storage hydro (PSH) projects, representing 4.6GW of capacity. These are: · Coire Glas – 1,450 MW (Track 2) · Earba – 1,800 MW (Track 2) · Glenmuckloch– 210 MW (Track 1) · Loch Kemp – 660 MW (Track 1) · Loch na Cathrach – 500 MW (Track 1) The LDES scheme is intended to support investment in projects able to store and release electricity for at least eight hours. Technologies include lithium-ion batteries, vanadium flow batteries, compressed air, and liquid air storage, alongside pumped storage hydro. Beatrice Filkin, Director of Major Projects Infrastructure at Ofgem, said: “Renewable power is the key to seizing control of our own energy system and end the costly reliance on the turbulent wholesale gas market, so we don’t want to see a single watt go to waste. “That’s why we need to boost our ability to store as much homegrown energy as we can to let the turbines keep turning when the wind is at its strongest – and on the days when the gusts drop and the sun doesn’t shine that reserve of excess clean power can be called upon. “There’s lots of different ways you can do this – with batteries, compressed air or pumped hydro storage – and we’ll consider them all, as this technology is vital for a modern energy system.” Energy Minister Michael Shanks added: “This is another huge step forward in reversing the legacy that has seen no new long duration storage built for 40 years – a technology that will see Britain take back control of its energy supply and protect billpayers for good. “By scaling this up, we can transform the way electricity is supplied in this country when demand is high – using stored up low-cost, homegrown solar and wind power to help end our reliance on costly fossil fuel markets once and for all.” Ofgem will now require detailed submissions from the eligible projects before moving to the final assessment. Decisions on which projects will receive cap and floor revenue support are expected in summer 2026.
