In my current role as a Mechanical Engineer at Superior Engineering, I am

responsible for designing piping layouts using CAESAR software. I am

responsible to run the finite element analysis of the designed piping

system on CAESAR afterwards to make sure the system passes the intended

code criteria. I am also responsible to interface with the client to

initially understand and develop the scope of work and properly estimate

the time of completion. I am to perform design calculations for

designs/projects which require engineering judgment and analysis for

further clarification. I am to work close with the other engineers and

designers to ensure a deliverable meets the client's expectation in the

given time frame.

CAREER SUMMARY

I have over 3 years of experience in the development, design, analysis, and

report writing of projects in the power generation and steel industries. I

am a quick learner, and have a proven track record of successfully

completing multiple projects using excellent problem solving,

organizational and communication skills.
