Work History

Naval Piping Designer

Genesis Technical Staffing
05.2023 - 06.2025
  • As a designer my responsibilities were to read Ship Diagrams for the US Coast Guards latest Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC5) and transfer that information into working 3D models of different ship piping systems utilizing Ship Constructor 24/25 and Navisworks programs. After modeling I then would use the models to create working arrangement drawings of each system per unit. After we had the majority of those arrangements in to the checking department I then rolled over to assist the checking department as a Lead Reviewer. This consisted of reviewing the arrangement drawing and comparing it to the working model and diagram for that system making sure that all necessary hangers, components, valves, small parts etc. were attached to the model and verified in the arrangement drawing.
  • Assisted in developing piping layouts using CAD software for project specifications.
  • Supported design team by preparing detailed drawings and documentation for client review.
  • Collaborated with engineers to ensure designs met safety and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintained organized records of design revisions and project-related correspondence.
