Samuel Rawlinson

Introducing Samuel Rawlinson, one of our Senior Mechanical Design Engineers! We asked Samuel a few questions to get to know more about his role at CAN and what he does outside of work.

What is your role at CAN and what do you enjoy the most about it?

I’m a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, working on the Medical Radionuclide Innovation Programme (MRIP) project. What I enjoy most is the challenge of working on projects that support the medical sector, knowing that our work can support, be it indirectly, people’s health and well-being. The technical problem-solving and collaboration with other experts in the field really keeps me motivated.

How long have you worked at CAN for?

I’ve been at CAN for two and a half years now.

What advice would you give to someone joining the business?

Be curious and open to learning. This is a company that thrives on innovation, so don’t be afraid to bring new ideas to the table. Also, collaboration is key and admitting when we don’t know helps us support one another.

What do you do at the weekends?

My weekends are quite varied! Sometimes I go lindy hop swing dancing, other times I enjoy board games, swimming, or painting with watercolours. I also dabble in hobbyist construction projects when I get the chance.

Do you have any hidden talents?

I have a black belt in Shotokan Karate.
