As a Project Engineer and Estimator for design build projects I spent my first year in Project Management developing kick off meeting presentations, producing AutoCAD design drawings and running successful projects. From Project Management I moved to the Estimating Department where I worked directly with the customer to walk the job, interpret the plans, develop the mechanical design and produce a quote for the work. With skills in both Project Management and Estimating I began to bid, design, draw and run my own jobs from initial concept to final completion. I have gained useful skills and experience in this fast pace environment, however, I would love to direct my engineering design knowledge towards a more creative position.
