My card says design engineer. Propulsion systems for ships, thrusters, gearboxes and propellers.
Mainly gearboxes nowadays, from 500kW to 20000kW.
The largest so far I've done wheighs in at 38000kg is in this ship:

But nowadays with the low oil prices it is mainly for salmon production support and fishing vessels.

I retired in 2010 aged 50 after 34 years working in the chemical industry.
My main hobby is photography and wanted to get out and about to more interesting places so rewarded myself with a brand new Jimny in 2013.
Best motor I have ever had. Love it to bits.

Wine improves with age.
The older I get the more I like it
