Detail of rebar using AutoCAD (RebarCAD) until they closed their Massachusetts doors at the end of February 2015.

Contract position.Drafting of substation schematic drawings with AutoCAD and Microstation.Batch plotting of various documents.

Alteration of AutoCAD files and preparation for engineering, Layout of fire alarm plans on AutoCAD using updated lists of symbols.

Restructuring, alteration and redesign of existing mechanical AutoCAD drawings. This was an ideal job for me as it was strictly AutoCAD based. Our department had received a large amount of drawings that had used a system of numbers to name each of the blocks in all of these drawings. To fix them, I re-drew each block and replaced it in each drawing as well as renaming each block. This was the bulk of my task at this position and in addition to this, I would also be performing work orders, organization of drawings, giving status reports at meetings, etc.

I began this position at entry level, but with an AutoCAD background. I designed many residential and commercial light hazard, ordinary hazard (groups 1 &2 ) and extra hazard (groups 1 & 2) sprinkler systems using FireCAD and performed calculations. Many times, if we were unable to obtain AutoCAD plans for the structures in which we were designing systems for, I would travel to the job site, take measurements of the building and draw them on AutoCAD myself. My strongest accomplishment while working for JB Engineering Inc was working on a residential standpipe system for a 9 story building in Boston on my own while my boss was away on vacation. Upon his return, I had completed the system which needed little to no correction before being approved by the Boston Fire Department.
