PROFESSIONAL SKILLS:
A motivated, self starting, reliable, young professional engineer with a
solid work ethic, and a passion to continuously challenge myself and grow
as an Engineer and Leader, allowing both myself and my employer to profit.
I am experienced in working as a Project Engineer both by myself and as a
member of a multidisciplinary engineering team. As a team player I have
been both a member and an active leader; as the Team Lead I managed not
just the project but the other team members as well.
My primary experience is running a project throughout the full life cycle,
from initial kick off meeting, through design to requisitioning and
fabrication, to inspections and culminating with the installation and
commissioning of the project.
During commissioning, I gained management experience as I was the Site
Supervisor in charge of coordinating workload and manpower amongst my
company, the customer, and contractors on site.
Relevant Engineering skills are: AutoCAD R14, 2001, and 2009, Inventor
2010, SolidWorks 2002, 2005, and 2009, Cosmos, SolidWorks Simulation, Six
Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen events, 5S, GD&T to ASME Y14.94, rapid
prototyping, QA Inspections, MS Office Suite, MS Windows, ECN use and
creation, and vendor management.
