CARADOC DESIGN ENGINEERING

EXPERIENCE

My experience is drawn from years of experience in safety-critical engineering sectors. I have led hundreds of engineering projects. Projects with huge diversity, from 40m long truss gantry cranes for nuclear applications to very large multi-axis robots for use in the investment casting industry. Brakes for Morgan and Formula Renault racing cars, to bicycle design and development. Innovative security fasteners to composite prop shafts for aircraft amongst a myriad of others. No project is too big or too small, too simple or too challenging.

CARADOC DESIGN ENGINEERING

BENEFITS

I provide all the usual strategic benefits of outsourcing. Why take on permanent members of staff with all the associated costs of training and employment etc. when it can be cost effectively outsourced to my company? I can make your business lean and able to quickly respond to new mechanical engineering challenges without sacrificing excellence, safety, due diligence and practical cost-effective designs.

PROFESSIONAL

My company uses Solidworks and Solidworks Simulation for our design and analysis work. I also use Mathcad Prime and Excel to produce automated calculations sheets. I am a chartered engineer and a member of the IET. My work is covered by professional indemnity insurance. Non-disclosure agreements may be signed and you can be rest-assured that none of your intellectual property will be shared without permission.

Please contact me for a chat and I’ll see how we can help.
