Collaborated with international project teams to deliver projects valued at €7–8 million, participating in various
activities from initial planning through to the installation and testing phases.
Led a team of 5–8 operators in the installation and testing of ceramic filtration membranes, consistently completing
loading sessions 1–5 days ahead of schedule with zero safety incidents and meeting expected quality standards.
Took ownership of the engineering for the design, manufacture, and installation of high-value components (€50K–
€100K) in PWNT’s proprietary filtration technology.
Supported the lead project manager in onboarding a new supplier and implementing quality management
requirements for a project-critical component of PWNT’s Cera-Mac system.
Mentored junior engineers in 3D modelling, finite element analysis, and manufacturing process design.
