Ash Shajarati

Director

  • 08:00
    I start the day at the gym and then head into the office, picking up a coffee and some breakfast en-route. Once I arrive at the office I organize my calendar for the day and respond to any urgent emails.
  • 09:00
    A typical start to my working day will include client management, ensuring I touch base with our clients and ensuring all deliverables are to schedule and to provide an update on where we’re at in the project.
  • 10:00
    When working on detailed design delivery across various projects, I like to focus on this in the morning to maintain a smooth, coherent process and to ensure I can reach out to the relevant colleagues and/or contacts throughout the day to joint consult or provide feedback.
  • 12:00
    Around midday I may be heading out to lunch with a client or colleague or I will grab something quick so I can maintain productivity throughout the afternoon.
  • 14:00
    A typical day can be so varied, which is what I love about working at WT, so an afternoon may be spending supporting my team or helping to train up colleagues across the business. Alternatively I work a lot of business development for the company so I may be pulling together a proposal for a new project or client.
  • 17:00
    At the end of the day, if I know I will be travelling to a project in the coming days, I will ensure everything is prepared and that my team know I may be less contactable for a few days, also will make sure to activate my out of office with working hours if I know I’m likely to be on a different time zone travelling to a number of our projects across the globe.

William Hancock

Lead Engineer in Secondary Steel and Offshore Structures

  • 08:00
    I split my week either working in the office or from home. If I am in the office, I usually commute by bike through busy central London. Then, after arriving in the office, I shower and change and head up to my desk. I’ll catch up with colleagues over a morning cup of tea before settling down for breakfast whilst opening emails and preparing for the day.
  • 09:00
    Most days start with a project meeting with other work package leads. I provide a summary of the tasks my team is working through and the planned actions for the week. We also run through open technical tasks and ongoing issues that require collaboration between the different teams (secondary and primary structures, T&I and electrical teams).
  • 10:00
    At present, a significant portion of my day revolves around resolving technical queries coming through from the fabrication yard. One of our WT foundation designs is currently in fabrication, and we provide ongoing support to ensure the fabrication process is running smoothly and try to optimise operations where we can. It is always interesting to see our designs moving from drawings to real structures.
  • 12:00
    A benefit of going into the office is that for lunch we venture out into the food market that is on our doorstep. Lunch in the office is a great way to hear what other colleagues are working on across the breadth of the projects in WT.
  • 14:00
    Often in the afternoons I will have online calls or meetings in person with the engineers in my team. The tasks we are working on are varied and challenging, ranging from, finite assessment analysis of a boat landing design under wave and ship impact loading, to writing Escape and Evacuation method statements. Difficult problems are best solved by having technical discussions between the team as it is important to utilise the experience and expertise from across WT. Throughout the day I’m in regular contact with the clients for different projects to ensure they are kept updated with progress and they can inform us of any new priorities that have come up.
  • 17:00
    As the day quietens down it is usually a good time to finish the reviewing of design reports or drawings that are due for issue. Wrapping up the day, I’ll check in again with my team and make sure we are prepared for meetings or tasks that are upcoming the next day. My cycle home or heading out for a run when I get home, means I am switched off from the day of work and ready for the evening.

Bruna de Queiroz

Lead Engineer in Energy and Climate Analytics

  • 08:00
    I usually like to practise exercise first thing in the morning. So around this time I’m usually finishing an yoga or bike class and getting ready to start work.
  • 09:00
    Emails, projects and team catch ups.
  • 10:00
    Python and Matlab programming applied to metocean data analysis as part of atmospheric and oceanographic site characterization and environmental lumping for offshore wind farm projects across the globe as well as R&D initiatives.
  • 12:00
    Lunch and WT learning sessions or market news
  • 14:00
    Client and stakeholders meetings alongside metocean data analysis as part of atmospheric and oceanographic site characterization and environmental lumping for offshore wind farm projects across the globe as well as R&D initiatives.
  • 17:00
    Writing reports, i.e., Site Conditions Assessment/Design Basis part A1, preparing presentations, discussions on how to bring wind energy and metocean disciplines together. And wrapping up the day with WT-socials! (when planned for that day).
