Position: Design Technician

Mordna graduated from university with a degree in product design. He worked in corporate roles and enjoyed being able to come up with solutions through his designs, skills and knowledge. This is how his career in design engineering started.

What does a Design Technician do?

My role is all about designing projects for our teams to work on, and for our clients at Severn Trent. For any issues that are identified, I come up with solutions through design and planning. This means I gather information, highlight any potential hazards and then design a drawing using CAD software (AutoCad) to manage the project and recommend sustainable solutions.

I liaise with our clients on a regular basis, working to their specifications, gathering information online relating to specific projects and producing detailed design drawings using engineering principles.

It’s a very fast-paced environment and we can be working on complex projects with short deadlines – but we work together as a team to overcome any challenges.

What do you like about working for Avove?

For me, every day brings a new opportunity and it feels rewarding to be part of the team at Avove and to be part of the water utility sector. It’s a vital industry to work in and it’s important to understand how water plays a part in our everyday lives.

To see what’s been designed come to life is very rewarding.

Do you have any advice for someone looking to work at Avove?

If you want to expand your engineering knowledge and kickstart your career in the engineering industry, then Avove offers all these benefits and support every step of the way to help colleagues reach their goals and progress further in their engineering careers.

If you have a goal that you want to reach, it can be achieved through hard work and love for what you are doing.
