LIDDELL - Key Persons
Adam has recently joined the Liddell design team to expand our capacity and facilitate our adoption of new technology.
In his previous role as a mechanical design engineer, he managed deliveries for British Aerospace, their largest customer. Their main output was parts for the Australian Navy Anzac Class Frigates. This involved everything from the point of sale through to dispatch, including every stage of production while incorporating any changes required for current and future runs. He also managed their COC documentation and dimensional as-builts for every part and assembly.
When NDE was requested for every weld, he coordinated with a local inspectorate to meet their requirements and managed full independent inspections of all welded assemblies. He worked directly with several levels of their organisation to coordinate design and changes, delivery updates, and all quality documentation.
In Canada, he had four years' experience in designing and fabricating directional drilling, top drive, and casing running tools with high regulatory requirements. Overhead lifting on oil rigs is stringently regulated, and their tools (rated from 150 to 1000 tonnes) are subject to particularly harsh operating conditions.
Having worked within the civil engineering industry for over sixteen years, Andrew is an organised, logical person who has a solid understanding and a wealth of experience in a variety of civil and structural engineering areas, including roading, marine works, land development, large scale earthworks, drainage, piling, bridges, tunnels and large reinforced concrete works.
Anna has been part of the team at Liddell's since 2005. She originally started her career hands-on working within the workshop and civil construction space which has given her a good understanding of the technical aspects of the company.
In 2010 she moved into the operation manager role where she has planned projects, liaised with staff and clients, programmed resources and maintenance. This has given her strong communication and people management skills.
Anna's operational experience has given her a well-rounded experience on projects and shown her the importance of clear and efficient communication. She always strives to deliver quality results at all times.
In 2022 Anna moved into the position of Liddell's Branch General Manager. The Administration, Operations and Workshop functions now report to Anna.
