About
Hi, I'm Cillian McCay and I am a Part-Time Student at Ulster University studying Mechatronic Engineering while working Full-Time at Sepha.
I've a Foundation Degree in Mechatronic Engineering while working towards a Full Degree.
While doing this I have been working full time which has gave me the opportunities to gain and improve my skills in Solidworks and Solid edge. it has also allowed me to gain an insight into the Industry over the past 4 years.
in these 4 years I have worked on small to big projects ranging at lowest £25,000 to highest £190,000. for these projects I was in control of;
• review plans and specifications according to the plan.
• Manage to oversee the work of subordinate staff contact architects or Engineers.
• Prepare plans, details, specified and cost estimated of plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and general piping system.
I have also worked on product design which I currently do at Sepha for innovation and development of specialised, high quality equipment for use in the manufacture of pharmaceutical blister packs, medical device and healthcare products.
