Work History
Mechanical Designer
Kiewit
09.2023 - 04.2024
Collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of mechanical designs into final products.
Led design reviews to identify areas for improvement and ensured alignment with project goals and specifications.
Developed innovative piping layouts that resulted in reduced material costs and improved overall system performance.
Piping Designer and Detailer
Harder Mechanical
11.2022 - 06.2023
Modeled industrial pipe systems in accordance with diagrams and specifications (primary focus on chill water, domestic fresh water, plumbing). Main communications interface was with design team only. All feedback from customer was directed through project managers.
Senior Pipe Designer
Gibbs & Cox Inc
02.2020 - 11.2022
Modeled pipe systems in accordance with diagrams, standards, material specs, and supplied information on three vessels. (Sewage/Plumbing Drains, AFFF/Firemain, Potable Water)
Responsible for pipe parts and equipment requests to aid in full installation of any pipe systems under my purview
(SEASPAN JSS94, FMM MMSC, FMM FFG62).
Revised pipe models to suit customer’s needs.
Communicated with other disciplines to prevent issues and produce a better product.
Developed 2D manufacturing drawings (arrangements and spools) per standards on two vessels (SEASPAN JSS94, FMM MMSC).
Outfitting Designer 2 / Piping Designer
Huntington Ingalls Shipbuilding
02.2018 - 11.2019
Develop 3D models for installation of various hull outfitting items (joiner bulkheads, furniture, equipment, sheathing, etc.).
Interface and assist with other disciplines and use Navisworks to detect interferences with others systems (ventilation, wire ways, etc.) prior to drawing development.
Incorporated various liens into outfitting/piping models.
These liens were changes from previous hulls that were not updated in the latest revisions of the previous hull's drawings and needed to be incorporated into the design of the new ship.
Incorporated marine tech comments into piping models.
These comments were mark ups from system engineers to align models with ship specs and standards.
This included interfacing with engineer and revision of 3D models to clear issues.
Mechanical Drafter
