Engineering Custom Solutions | Design Engineer at Podmores Engineers
Design Engineer, Systems Integration. Stoke On Trent.
August 2008 – December 2012






With over 90 years of expertise, Podmores Engineers specializes in special-purpose machinery for materials handling, offering solutions like vibratory feeders, conveyors, elevators, bespoke automation, and more.
In my role, I designed both standard and bespoke machinery for end users and OEMs, incorporating sheet metal parts, welded structures, and electrical/pneumatic components. I also managed BOM creation, ensuring smooth procurement and production for in-house, subcontracted, and purchased components.
Beyond design, I was involved in project management, work scheduling, product re-engineering, new product development, and technical documentation in line with Machinery Directive standards.
Passionate about engineering innovation and automation, I thrive on delivering efficient, high-quality solutions tailored to industry needs.
