* Produce and edit piping plans, general arrangement, process and instrumentation diagrams, isometric, electrical and mechanical drawings using AutoCAD 2000i.* Design of industrial piping systems.* Building of 3D piping and equipment models using AutoCAD 2000i with CadWorx Pipe 2004.* Development of piping specifications and data tables for use with CadWorx Pipe 2004 software.

* Design prototype industrial process refrigeration equipment, and electrical control schematics using AutoCAD 2000. System engineer calculates the size of the refrigeration parts and provides a rough idea of how the machine should be laid out. I take this information and arrange the parts in the best layout for piping, electrical, and customer needs.* Construct prototype industrial process refrigeration equipment, building electrical control panels, and supervise shop personnel. It is my responsibility to order all piping parts, structural steel for frames, and any special items necessary to complete the machine.* Process pump and refrigeration piping. Planning piping, and conduit routes, and allowing for piping insulation. I have learned to take a group of parts and arrange them in the best fashion for piping, electrical, and customer needs.* Use Mig and Tig welding, and oxygen fuel torch in the fabrication of this equipment.
