Work Background
Summer Intern
RSESummer Intern
Jun. 2021 - Jul. 2024United Kingdom, InvernessAfter both my first and second year of university, I worked as an intern at Ross-Shire Engineering over the summer break. During my time at RSE I worked with the head Mechanical Project Engineer. Working on jobs with him gave me an incredible opportunity to learn first-hand practical skills in planning, organising, calculating, and budgeting. The knowledge I gained from the Mechanical Project-Engineer has been invaluable to my studies and understanding. In particular, I was delighted to be able to work on the release valve project and see it through to the end, as this furthered my confidence and I got to work on something I really enjoyed. During my second year at Ross-Shire Engineering, I was further able to take on more responsibilities and work on bigger jobs, as well as increasing my knowledge. For my third summer as an intern, I was working with the Mechanical Engineering team. During this time, I was working on water treatment projects. I was tasked with carrying out calculations and ensuring, during the design process, that the pressures did not exceed a certain value, to ensure the system being designed would flow correctly. I was also introduced to pipeflow software and was introduced to new and expanded knowledge of the mechanical engineering world. During my fourth summer, I spent three months creating and writing code to calculate the centre of gravity of structures and buildings within RFEM software. Overall, this internship was an invaluable learning experience I carried forward into my years at university.

Filing Clerk/Admin Assistant
Saffery ChampnessFiling Clerk/Admin Assistant
Jun. 2018 - Sep. 2020United Kingdom, InvernessAs well as studying, I was employed at Saffery Champness’s Inverness office. My main task every day was to file away documents, being responsible for all archiving, assisting the tax or accounts teams when needed as well as the admin team in any other roles necessary. While I was in this role, we progressed from a paper filing system to an online one. As I was the only filing clerk, I implemented the new filing system for the office. As I was used to working in retail, this job brought new challenges and enabled me to expand on skills I already had, as well as learn a whole new set of skills.
