SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE
Currently Senior Piping Designer, responsible for design of piping systems to conform to codes and design parameters.
I have knowledge in most aspects of piping design & engineering, from design conceptual studies to detail engineering producing general arrangement, isometrics, estimating, pipe supports detailing, tie-ins and material take offs. I have been involved in both in-house design and onshore surveys, problem solving related to engineering construction on site.
Over recent years I have develop an extensive working knowledge in modern office & drafting computer systems. Specializing in 3D modeling, Intergraph/Microstation (PDS), 2D AutoCAD and 3D Rebis AutoPlant Modeling. Client presentation skills using various packages and demo producing software, effectively to the benefit I have gained experience in a number of various petrochemical plants, mining and refinery projects.
