James Kopal

I am a highly motivated and sociable individual, known for being a friendly team player who excels in building positive working relationships. I genuinely value collaboration and understand the importance of fostering a supportive and inclusive environment within the modern, diverse workforce.

One of my greatest strengths lies in my ability to work effectively in a team. I respect and appreciate the unique perspectives and skills that each team member brings to the table, making sure to leverage our collective strengths for optimal outcomes. Even in high-pressure situations, I thrive and maintain my efficiency and productivity, driven by a commitment to deliver results.

My last two roles: 

I have experience as a Civil, Structural & Architectural Engineer at Cavendish Nuclear in Bristol, England from May 2022 to April 2023. In this role, I was responsible for preparing detailed design calculations for structures to support the delivery of shore electrical supply to docked vessels. This primarily involved designing RC foundations for non-seismic on-site equipment. Additionally, I developed a project drawing tracker to efficiently organize workload and meet project deadlines.

Prior to that, I worked as a Graduate Structural Engineer at Indev Consult in Glasgow, Scotland from August 2019 to May 2022. During this time, I reviewed peer design calculations as part of timber kit design for residential houses. I collaborated with clients such as Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon Homes, and Robertson Homes, focusing on overall substructure and superstructure design. I also utilized Tekla Tedds software for analysis and design to ensure structural integrity in residential structures.

Overall, my professional experience includes expertise in meticulous design calculations for structures, managing project timelines, reviewing peer design calculations, and utilizing software for analysis and design. I am skilled in ensuring structural integrity and have worked on projects with renowned clients in the residential construction industry.
