PJZ ENGINEERING LTD

January 2019 - May 2020

• I started my position in Howden running, securing an order within my first month and going on to book over £2million in projects in my first year.

• My position involved the implementation of a new product, the Roots Rotary Blower. Within the second quarter, we met the previous year’s bookings. By the end of the year with over double the bookings of the previous year, also increasing overall booked margin.

• Implementing the Rotary product into Howden involved the creation of Standard working templates and procedures to allow local and regional staff to work with continuity.

• Part of the Rotary proposal process involves the Process Design and sizing of the compressor based on the clients requirements. I quickly learned the fundamentals of Rotary blower process design and each day deepen my technical understanding of this equipment.

• Towards the end of 2019, I began to work with proposals involving other forms of compressor; these are aptly named the Mega projects due to their size and complexity. These project values range in the tens of millions and I felt honoured and inspired by taking them on. I later learned that shortly after my departure, the work I had done developing these bids came to fruition with a $12 Million order.

• My final few weeks with Howden involved the development and presentation of a training programme, designed to allow anyone entering the proposals department to follow and continue the tried and tested process of delivering quick and accurate proposals.

• The focus on safety in Howden has had a profound impact on how I live my life, simply knowing how to recognise and avoid a ‘safety moment’ has changed the way I think about risk in the tasks I do.
