Design Engineer Apprentice
Merly Hipgrave
As an apprentice at Makefast Group, my responsibilities in the design office include designing custom awnings for customers' yachts and managing engineering change requests using CAD software like SolidWorks, as well as other programs such as Design Data Manager, Epicor, and Microsoft Office. I relish the daily challenges of this role, and the most rewarding part is seeing the products I've designed featured on luxurious yachts online.
