Work Placement


I was privileged to spend 2 weeks work experience at the London branch of Cameron Limited. The 2 weeks were a fascinating experience, especially as the company has so many ties to BP oil,  supplying (designing, manufacturing and maintaining) specialised and sometimes bespoke equipment used in the process of extracting oil from beneath the sea bed around the world.

I was lucky enough to have demonstrated, how a multi billion dollar project operated on a daily basis through micro observing individuals working on the project. I Had the privilege of working with:

> Qualification and Testing Engineers
> Interface management
> Master schedular
> Welding engineer
> Global risk manager
> ROV engineer

(to name a few!)

... Each of which explained how they as individuals contributed to the project, as well as how collectively it all comes together to achieve a common goal. 

My primary role over the two weeks was to address technical queries between Bp oil and Cameron Ltd, before correcting AutoCAD drawings accordingly.

All in all, a great experience in which i enjoyed myself a great deal, thanks to all those at Cameron for there time and welcoming of the 'annoying work experience guy!'
