Connecting design with practical engineering
Leon works with Terra as an independent contractor through his own limited company, contributing to engineering design, workshop integration and specialist equipment development.
His work connects assembly modelling and technical documentation with practical workshop requirements. Within the vibrocorer programme, that has included model development, preliminary static studies, interface checks and the preparation of component and assembly drawings for review.
We are pleased to support a working relationship that combines project contribution with continued learning across the design and practical sides of engineering.
