Flynn Roache

In November 2024, I completed my mechanical engineering degree with honours at the University of Canterbury with a minor in Aerospace. Throughout my studies and internships I always thrived in design projects, enjoying both the modelling and calculation process. In a short space of time, I have had exposure to a variety of sectors. From HVT certifying truck components, to building a carbon-fibre wrapped propellant tank - I have learnt the importance of iterative design.

Currently I'm working in commercial property management, providing me an insight into the world of sales and client satisfaction. However, I am eager to secure an engineering role at a quality organisation to build a career. I bring a disciplined and motivated approach to my work, with strong critical thinking skills.

• Engineering internships, hands-on workshop tasks, complex design challenges
• Heavy vehicle part design and certification, attention to detail, precise calculations

• SolidWorks
• CFD
• FEA

• Disciplined
• Motivated
• Strong critical thinking skills
• Ability to collaborate effectively

• The WARMAN Project - Part of a team designing and programming (using C++) a wire-mounted robot to transport a puck across a table, reinforcing skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and perseverance.
• GDE: HVE Certification & Design, performing loading calculations and developing components using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
• FYP: Propellant Tank Design - Collaborated on designing a composite-overwrapped propellant tank for cryogenic liquids, optimizing material selection and structural integrity.
• AEC: Substation Pipe Fitting - Worked with DraftSight, interpreting 2D models and detailed drawings. I also gained site experience, enhancing technical efficiency and client consultation experience.
