Ten years of experience in drafting and design in the energy industry. The past year & half I have been in a management position with direct reports. I have grown in my ability to mentor and help set goals for newly experienced designers. I have developed workflows to make it easier for the team to get work done. I previously worked on Upstream & Midstream work for clients ranging from Marathon, Oxy, BTA, & Enterprise. Generating Site Plans, Grading Plans, Plats, Alignment Sheets, & Permits. I specialized in Civil 3D Grading design for three years. Working directly under the Site Civil Engineer, I have older experience responsibilities for all E&S, grading, & site civil work for Oil & Gas. I also have experience in Solar Power & Renewables civil site work. I have been given many opportunities to design projects from beginning to end with minimal supervision. I have always caught on quickly to all challenges, even with quick turn-around times, and have executed flawlessly.
