Summary
John Nightingale is a design engineer and former Royal Navy aircraft engineering technician with nine years’ experience delivering mechanical and manufacturing solutions across aerospace, defence, rail and industrial sectors. He combines first-class aerospace engineering credentials with hands-on fabrication planning, CAD/CAM-driven design-for-manufacture, and fault-diagnosis skills honed in high-pressure military and submarine programme environments. At Morson Projects and through his consultancy work he has solved complex production challenges for clients including BAE Systems, Knorr-Bremse and Bombardier, translating technical requirements into manufacturable products and clear supply-chain instructions. He has led teams, managed ERP and cloud IT workflows, and produced the reports and quality data that minimise human factors in production. Comfortable balancing cost, time and safety constraints, he is known for rapid adaptation, practical prototyping, and turning ambiguous problems into repeatable processes. Based in Manchester, he relishes learning new tools and disciplines to overcome novel engineering challenges.
