Objective

To continue my career as a professional Mechanical CAD Designer, planning and executing projects from start to completion including concept, design, drawing creation, fabrication, and assembly.

Summary of Experience

Supervised teams creating quality products in a timely fashion for projects of all sizes maintaining a positive work environment. Created solutions to production problems and instigated systems resulting in higher efficiency.

15 years of experience in industrial/mechanical design. I have been Instrumental in the creation of shop/fabrication drawings both in power plant and millwork industries. I am experienced in AutoCAD software from release R14, 2000i, 2002 through 2014, CADWorx Professional 2007 through 2014. I also have hands on experience utilizing NavisWorks, a computerized CAD viewing and walk-through software for 3D modeling. I have played a role in the entire power plant 3D modeling for each project with Barlow Projects and Range Fuels. I also have some experience using the software SolidWorks 3D design.

Worked directly with steel fabrication shops on all of my designs answering questions for change requests and overseeing quality control.
