I am a multi-disciplined designer/drafter seeking employment in a company where my talents can be utilized in a manner that adds value to the company. I have worked fully remote from 2011 to 2019, long before working fully remote was a thing, just before COVID I went back to working full time in an office, and like most started working remote during COVID again, and have worked a mix of fully remote, in office full time, and hybrid since then. I have a fully functional home office with business class internet and my hope is wherever I work, I am at least capable of working after hours from home, I can work under any conditions but am simply hoping for some flexibility in the evenings/after hours. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

I have been classed as a “Sr Designer” everywhere I’ve worked for the last 15 years, while that’s a nice title indicative of my 38 years experience, and would be a fair description of my AutoCAD/Cadworks/Software skills, with regards to my technical knowledge I am a high Level 3 or low Level 4 piping designer. While I am considered a “Pipe Designer” by trade, but I also have equal experience in electrical and civil/structural drafting and design as I’ve spent the vast majority of my career in small companies or small groups that required me to fill many roles and take on tasks outside of just doing “piping design”. I normally work under the lead designer, project engineer, or both. I have twenty five plus years of process design experience in the energy industry and two years in specialized manufacturing/semiconductor industry. Proven expertise in process flow sheet and piping and instrumentation diagram (P & ID) drafting and design. Heavy mechanical piping design (2D and 3D), as well as in structural and electrical drafting. Experience in process piping for waste products in microchip manufacturing facilities, product loading facilities (ship, barge, rail, and truck), custody transfer measurement, product and crude oil metering stations, meter proving systems, pump stations, above ground and underground storage facilities, electrical generating facilities, and natural gas compressor stations. Experience includes an overseas assignment participating in the creation and presentation of a feasibility study for an underground storage facility. Drafting and design expertise includes AutoCAD, CadWorx Piping and P & ID Packages, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Navisworks, Microsoft Office programs, ProjectWise, Rockwell,and OneNote. EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:
