Do you need a competent mechanical engineer recommended by Kirkholm Maskingeniører A/S?

I'm currently looking to work, as I will be graduating from DTU in February 2026 with a BEng in Mechanical Engineering, specialising in mechanical design, product development and CAD.As a part of my education, I interned at Kirkholm Maskingeniører A/S, where I delivered high-quality work, especially for an intern. My work efficiency and technical skills resulted in a strong recommendation from their CTO, Jacob Mac Rygaard, which can be viewed with the button on the right.If you need a mechanical engineer, then don't hesitate to contact me at +45 91 999 668.My engineering projects are shown below and my CV can be found on the right.

My work at Kirkholm Maskingeniører A/S

Internship at Kirkholm Maskiningeniører A/SSummary
• In my 5th semester I worked as a mechanical engineering intern at Kirkholm Maskiningeniører A/S.
• I worked on a multitude of different projects, but had a couple of ongoing projects that I worked on the entire time I was there.
• I got to speak with customers and suppliers, and also got to present my very own solution to a customer's problem, which another consulting engineering firm had failed with - the customer was very satisfied to say the least.
• I developed my skills within parametric CAD, sheet metal CAD, product development, customer contact and supplier contact.
• My longest project ended with a finished prototype of a packaging machine for one of Kirkholm's customers - the prototype had some clear problems, but was a solid foundation for further work.
• I gained great insight into the daily life at a consulting engineering firm and various production companies.
• Due to confidentiality I cannot show pictures of my work at Kirkholm, but to the right is a picture from Kirkholm's LinkedIn. Here I am shaking hands with my project supervisor at Kirkholm, Martin Lindemann.

My work at DTU Danstar

Volunteer work at DTU DanstarSummary
• I joined DanSTAR during my 2nd semester at DTU and embarked on a challenging and rewarding journey of rocket science.
• I worked as a part of the Mechanical Team, with one of my biggest projects being redesigning the structure for the refueling system. The previous structure was made of wood, which was obviously not a safe material. If the wood happened to catch fire, this could explode the fuel tank.
• During the redesign project for the refueling system I worked together with the machining engineers at DTU Ballerup and DTU Lyngby, as well as the rest of the Mechanical Team.
• I later joined the board of DanSTAR, where I ventured my opinion on operational and management matters.
• My primary focus during my time on the board was the deteriorating work culture and HR management at DanSTAR, which, in my opinion, was a result of poorly defined HR management strategies. Before I left DanSTAR, I constructed a strategic HR management implementation plan, which was to be used to avoid unfortunate HR management situations.
• I left DanSTAR shortly after concluding my work on the HR management strategy to focus on other projects.

Product development with Naturpark Kongernes Sjælland and Naturstyrrelsen

62999 - Innovation PilotSummary
• Group of 7 people.
• Received a pitch from a selection of companies, where the team then had to choose a pitch to work further with.
• Two product development rounds, first round of 3 weeks as practice, second round lasted the rest of the course.
• Each round ended with the selection of a winner, which was the best group in the company's eyes. Our group won both rounds, as we identified from an early stage what it was that the customers wanted.
• The product development process involved the classic Double Diamond process, among many other methods.
• The deliverables in each round consisted of 20-page design reports and reflection reports.
• I was the only person in my group who received the letter grade A (12).
My role
• It was quickly evident that the team lacked a leader who could organize and structure the team's efforts. I stepped up and filled that role through both innovation rounds.
• My most important role was to develop our pitch to the customers and then present it. I was one of the few in the group who voluntarily signed up to present, as I find it easy to present in front of people and am fluent in English.
• I also contributed a lot with planning, document writing, research and idea generation.

Numerical analysis of internal combustion engine

62146 - Mechanical Product AnalysisSummary
• Five person group.
• The project was to be completed within 5 days.
• Required answering and calculating many different values for a theoretical ICE using numerical methods in Excel.
• The deliverable was a 13-page report answering all the given questions and tasks.
• The letter grade received for the report was an A (12) grade.
My role
• Planning the project.
• Taking charge on structuring and writing the report.

Simulating a simple car suspension system

62646 - Modelling and programmingSummary
• Three person group.
• This project called for programming the simulation of a car suspension using differential equations for a car suspension system using MATLAB.
• The deliverable was a 10 page report and description of the program and theory.
• The project received the top grade available in the course.
My role
• For this project, I actually ended up coding the entire program myself, as my teammates were otherwise occupied. This also meant writing most of the report myself.
• This was an enormous challenge, but ended up being a very fulfilling experience.

• Using gear mates correctly.
• Much, much more.

Designing and constructing a terrace

Design and construction of terrace in North ZealandSummary
• Design of terrace in Solidworks according to customer's wishes, approx. 9 m².
• Purchased materials and built the terrace at the location where the customer had requested it.
• Constructed and installed the terrace myself, which took 10 days.
• The customer was very satisfied with the result, especially since I had explained that it would be quite difficult with the design they had chosen - primarily because of the boards that need to be cut at 45 degrees and align with each other at the ends.
• The result was extremely solid, especially because the customer chose to go with an over-dimensioned design, even though I had given them a more economical option with fewer posts.
