I am the Trainer for SFDesign Solidworks Mining Industry Course. Now into its third year we have been producing the next generation of Solidworks experts to Perth.The course runs for 12 consecutive weeks, starting on ever 3 months.The course is limited to eight people on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night from 6 -9pm. Then on Saturday from 9am til 1pm we allow each student from each of the classes to come in from 9am til 2pm for practice and any further one on one tuition. For each unit within the course the participant will need to complete the assessment.The prerequisite for our course is the essentials course from Solidtec Solutions or the six month solidworks Tafe course. The course outline is as follows:Week 1 Introduction ~ Setting up Standards in SolidworksWeek 2 Modeling Parts with ParametricsWeek 3 Assemblies with SketchesWeek 4 & 6 Structural Steel using WeldmentsWeek 7 & 8 Chutes using SheetmetalWeek 9 & 10 BHP & RIO Standard DrawingsWeek 11 Virtual Assemblies with PipingWeek 12 ReviewAfter each lesson each participant will have access to the instructional video with a lesson brief.

Commissioning Engineer:I am also employed as a contractor to Transmin as their Commissioning Engineer. To learn the role I spent 4 years detailing and designing mechanical equipment for Transmin in their design office. I have a detailed understanding of machine components and how the machines operate. This enables me to identify issues and provide prompt solutions.List of the Commissioned Plants include;• Back Fill Paste Plant at Porgera in Papa New Guinea,• MD Rockbreaker package for Mt Lyall, Tasmania,• Lime Slaking System at Sydney Desalination Plant• XHD60/70 Rockbreaker, Lime Slaking System and Flocculent System’s at Boddington Gold Mine• Vibrating Feeder’s for Mid West Iluka in Geraldton, WA,• Lithium Ball Mill’s for Talison in Greenbushes, WA,• Sidewall Belt Conveyor's and Belt feeder’s on the Whaleback Hub site • Slide Gates and Augers at the Kalgoorlie Nickel Smelter • Commissioning and Training on MD40/25 Rockbreaker for Zinifex in Rosebery, Tasmania,• Container Tipper and twin screw feeder for Yabulu in Townsville, Queensland,Specific Project: Lime Slaking ProjectGold/Silver Production PlantPalmajero, MexicoMar, 09 - Apr 09Major accomplishments:• Effectively communicating and managing twenty Spanish speaking Mexican construction contractors on site,• Completing final erection and construction on site,• Leading and organising a commissioning team to commence operation of the plant, and• Fine tune the setting on the lime slaking plant to ensure correct pH control during operation.Installation and Commissioning duties involved the following;• Regularly interaction with on site Engineers, Project Managers, Designers and the construction team,• Creating and updating schedules,• Maintaining and improving safety in the workplace,• Completing a technical review of the equipment,• Filling out appropriate documentation,• Checking running temperatures, oil levels, sensors positions, and• Writing a commissioning report upon completion.

Initially employed on a full time basis working in the drafting office on numerous bulk handling, mineral processing and mining equipment projects. Duties involved designing and detailing in both AutoCAD and 3D Solid edge. The position provided me with detailed experience in drafting techniques and standards. The position also involved regular interaction with manufactures and fitters to provide better quality drawings.Specific Project: Rockbreaker 100/70 (Largest in the World) Iron Ore Crushing Plant Tom Price Primary Crusher Rio Tinto's Brownfield's ExpansionSept, 05 - Jul 06Major accomplishments:• Designing the size of the Rockbreaker's jib and boom to be able to reach into the required areas of the primary crusher,• Designing the hydraulics' on the Rockbreaker and powerpack including all 3D isometrics and hydraulic schematics,• Designing new cylinders to handle the increased pressure and flow from the new powerpack, and• Understanding and illustrating on drawings to fabricators the welding requirements on high tensile quenched steel.

I was employed to detail chutes and was quickly promoted into the lead design role for the project. During which time I managed the team of up to 5 draftsman to complete the project. The role enabled me to develop as a lead draftsman and work alongside the Project Engineer and Project Manager to ensure all the engineering and management decisions were implemented into the drawing office. Specific Project: Utah Point Berth ProjectPort Hedland Port AuthorityPort Hedland, WAMay, 10 - Dec, 10Major accomplishments:• Modelling the entire plant in solidworks including all engineering disciplines; mechanical, structural, piping, civil and electrical,• Designing the transfer station and sample station with various mechanical equipment venders,• Detail drafting all mechanical components including chutes, covers, guarding, etc, and• Detail drafting the structural steel including girts, purlins, sheeting, bridging, etc.

During my time with Telic Engineers I have fulfilled many roles. These roles have provided me with a great deal of knowledge, professionalism and confidence The work involved project feasibility studies, detailed estimates, mechanical, structural, electrical, piping and concrete design and detailing and a wide range of other engineering activities. Specific Project: Iron Ore Pilot PlantHancock Prospecting Pty Ltd / Orway Mineral Consultants Pty LtdRoy Hill, WASep, 08 - Jan, 09Major accomplishments:• Designing the plant in Solid Works with particular detail in the operation, maintenance and movability for future relocation,• Understanding and designing for separation equipment such as vibrating screens, cyclones, spirals, belt filter's and up-current classifiers,• Organising and checking all drafting within the project, and• Writing technical and engineering documents for the project including equipment data list's, instrument data list's, valve data list's, piping list, motor list, drawing list, Tenders, Operating Control Philosophies, etc.
