Bill Fitzsimmons Email and Phone Number

As a design engineer, I was responsible for the design and development of utility power plant equipment, including structural steel, boiler firing system components, large duct systems, and piping. • Wore multiple hats as both a mechanical and structural engineer who enjoyed working across multiple departments and engineering disciplines. • Traveled both internationally and domestically to support project scoping trips, shop inspections, and plant outages. • Responsible for engineering analysis to ensure products meet design standards such as ASME, AISC, and AWS. Typical analysis included a mix of traditional hand calculations and analysis software.• Performed finite element analysis (FEA) of components and structures using ANSYS. Focus was primarily on structural and buckling analysis, however in some cases thermal analysis was required. • Utilized CAD software such as AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor to create 2D drawings and solid (3D) models. • Collaborated on design teams producing engineering documentation, including drawing packages and technical specifications.• Frequently provided materials and hours estimates to support new project proposals.
