Sussex-based Big Foot Systems has announced the internal promotion of Nathan Wood to the position of site engineer.
Nathan studied mechanical engineering at Oxford Brookes University before joining Big Foot Systems as a project engineer. In this role he undertook project work, seeing it through from design and quotation to fabrication as well as applying technical analysis to these projects including FEA (finite element analysis), CFD (computational fluid dynamics) etc. After nearly 2 years in this position, he has now been promoted to site engineer at Big Foot Systems.
Whilst still being involved in project management and analysis, he is now focussed on large scale custom projects with more site work, meeting with customers to discuss design and other technical details as well as carrying out site surveys.
Speaking of his appointment, he commented: “I’m looking forward to becoming more involved in each project by seeing them through all stages and working directly with our clients.
“I’ve built up a high level of technical understanding at Big Foot Systems since finishing university and I’m excited to now be working on larger and more technical projects. I’m determined to offer our customers a quality service and product on every project, no matter whether they are large or small.”
Kevin Bergin, managing director, UK, at Aspen Pumps Group, said: “We are delighted to have been able to promote Nathan internally. Big Foot leads the way in offering on-site support solutions and ensuring all our team are trained engineers, like Nathan, is a key part of this. This ensures that they can all advise clients on site and our technical team can design drawings for the installation of the Big Foot support and plant on site, providing a valuable service for contractors and clients.”
