Filled a variety of roles, principally checking piping per P&IDs and pipe specs, piping design routing and editing, but also had full responsibility for the corporate CADWorx Cats & Specs development – including pipe supports. Also, helped to troubleshoot AutoCAD and CADWorx user issues.

Providing CAD solutions to a variety of engineering projects. Managed the CAD services in the piping department and interfaced with other disciplines. Set-up projects for all disciplines to use CADWorx for plant design. Created CADWorx pipe specifications for a variety of industries, including User Shapes and pipe supports. Routed pipe and produced isometrics as needed by Plant Design. Tracked the training activities of users and gave one-on-one instruction as needed.

Supported CAD-based projects and assisted managers with milestone activities, design, catalog & specifications, Isodraft, Draft (PDMS). Created time-saving applications to shorten response time by 25%.Provided detailed design for piping layouts based on engineering instruction (iso’s, drawings).Supported project with challenging bilingual environment with international partner. Created project standard pipe supports and helped piping design solve a number of catalog/piping problems. Created model for FEED based upon plot plans and best estimates. Worked closely with piping lead.Created various Navisworks models, based upon client needs.Provided detailed engineering tie-in work with light piping design for international partner.Supported project by creating/updating line-list, performing model management activities along with modifications to design model, including egress areas and firewater pipework.Supported various piping design requests that range from valves to pipe supports. Value added to user by adding components with highly configurable parameters, giving designers greater flexibility.Created library of piping catalog "one offs"​ to shorten creation time for project.Worked with design teams to help then with "Option A, Option B"​ type decisions.Works well with others, and is familiar with schedule constraints.Looks for the "Win-Win" situations.

Section lead for CAD under Plant Design department. The primary support for PDMS projects. Organized training and trained users in Review and PDMS. Created PDMS projects, maintained Cats/Specs, and supplied support to end-users. Created DRAFT backing sheets from AutoCAD files and automated “Global is Down” email notification.

Created AVEVA PDMS Software infrastructure at two locations (in different states) for a large, east coast, nuclear engineering corporationDeployed and maintain systems and software for approximately 100 users. Support included VPE P&ID and VPE Workbench, VPD (PDMS), and VPRM (MCAT, SPEC)

Designed Microsoft Access applications (in the VBA environment) that accelerated the deployment of complex PDMS pipe specifications, geometric piping catalog components, and bolting components. Created Company standard for pipe specification tools used by software support personnel.Created and maintained numerous computer programs (Visual Basic 6) to support various project requirements in a dynamic design environment.Foretasted proposed project costs using advanced 3D graphic experience and Microsoft Access (database) software.Delivered senior CAD support on PDMS (AVEVA/Cadcentre) software supported projects. Automated work processes. Increased productivity, embedded quality, and reduced errors. Achieved project consistency. Decreased time to perform tasks by over 50%.

Graduated with Honors as Aircraft Armament System Specialist, U.S. Air Force, Lowry AFB, Colorado - 1979.Completed four-year enlistment with honorable discharge.Created report format to meet complex aircraft specifications.Achieved rank of Staff Sergeant (E-5).
