Specialist weld engineering company Arc Energy Resources is pleased to announce the appointment of David Hodges as Welding Engineer.
David began his welding career as an apprentice, where he gained experience in both sheet metalwork and welding. He progressed into design, quality and manufacturing for specialist automotive and rail products manufacturer Johnson Security, before achieving the role of senior production engineer and welding specialist, working between factories in both the UK and China.
In his role as senior welding process engineer with his previous company IMI, David successfully established two new product lines, whilst supporting and improving current production on products for the nuclear industry.
Welcoming David to the Arc Energy Resources team to focus on weld engineering within the oil and gas industry, managing director Alan Robinson says his previous experience in senior roles and his in-depth knowledge of welding, make him a valuable asset.
