Background

About Otto Couper

Mechanical Engineer with Honours from The University of Auckland. Eager problem solver with a passion for continuous learning and collaboration. After two years as a Product Development Engineer at F&P Healthcare, where I was involved in numerous aspects from design to testing, I embarked on a seven-month journey exploring diverse cultures and landscapes worldwide. This experience not only broadened my perspective but also took my out of my comfort zone and put me into challenging situations. Now, I have moved to Calgary with a work visa and enthusiasm for the opportunities that lie ahead. In addition to using CAD/CAM software, I gained hands-on experience in test jig construction and mold tool fabrication, as well as with precision metrology systems and testing equipment during my tenure at F&P Healthcare. This was an invaluable opportunity to develop my technical and interpersonal skills. Prior internships at Mott Macdonald and Auckland Council broadened my experience, from office work to field operations. I thrive on diverse challenges and have enjoyed contributing to award-winning projects like 'Healthy Waters' for sustainable city development in my home city, Auckland.
