Senior Principal Remote Handling Engineer @Amentum

Warrington, GB

I am an experienced Senior Principal Consultant who represents Amentum internally and externally as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Robotics and Remote Handling (RH), automation, machine vision, and systems integration. I still apply robotics into a variety of hazardous and unstructured environments, but now this has grown from nuclear, defence, and cutting-edge industries to encompass critical infrastructure in transport and water industries (tunnels), civil structures (bridges and flood defences), and maritime (tanks). All of these require inspection and repair of hard to reach spaces, which we aim to do Safer – Faster – Cheaper. Across this space I provide technical support and oversight, innovative problem solving, expertise in cross-sector synergy in robotics and other technologies, and a multi-disciplinary engineering and systems approach.
