Started as a technician III checking Tekla models and parts for fabrication by the plant. Handled shop and field calls as required for clarification and field fixes. Was given an opportunity to help start a pre-construction team. These duties included working directly with the engineers on projects early in the stages of designing of the buildings. I created preliminary drawing submittals throughout the early design process, including building Tekla models and creating .ifc's. This included permit and bid set. I was promoted to a Technician IV (highest technical level in this company). My responsibilities expanded to where I created proposal models in Tekla ands SketchUp for the sales department. The pre-construction group grew and I trained the team how to model in Tekla and SketchUp. Helped out in developing efficient modeling and documenting standards for modeling and creating drawings for the department so all modelers modeled the same. Helped out other departments in modeling and checking as the need arose. Identified a industry need in our team to learn Revit. Proceeding to learn on my own how to model a building in Revit.
