Summary

Seasoned Mechanical Designer dedicated to producing high-quality drafts with minimal reworking. Efficiently translate design specifications and comments to create solid schematics and blueprints. Hardworking and collaborative team player with advanced technical knowledge. Dedicated employee with history of meeting company goals utilizing consistent and organized practices. Skilled in working under pressure and adapting to new situations and challenges to best enhance the organizational brand. In addition to Mechanical Designer I have worn several hats while at Siemens Energy. For the past 5 years I am asked to go help the offshore services division and would go offshore for weeks at a time to work for their division. I have also helped train several individuals in how to use Autodesk Inventor, along with basic AutoCAD. I think of myself as a diverse, team player who is always willing to help out even when it is outside of my job duties.
