MECHANICAL DESIGNER/ENGINEER CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

An experienced and knowledgeable mechanical designer/engineer in search of an opportunity to showcase my talents in a team orientated environment. With over thirty years’ experience in the design of special/custom machines, gauges, fixtures, component parts, material handling conveyor systems and product design, I would be a great addition to any design team. Part of my acquired skills are managing multiple projects simultaneously and scheduling all activities related to the design and development of a project. I have supervised and instructed design teams from the concept stage, through production, through delivery and installation. I have experience in performing some plant layout duties, such as, equipment location, space planning and process flow. I have helped developed and maintained drafting and CAD standards and maintained project documentations. I have worked closely with other engineers, designers, contractors, manufacturing and production personnel, and not just in-house personnel but also at other facilities.
