I started my career working as A civil / structural designer and after six years I switched to doing piping & mechanical design. I then worked as a piping designer for another ten years and I decided to go to work in a refinery doing maintenance and field engineering projects. At this time I would do the whole project using my electrical from school doing the motor starter, bringing the power to A pump, doing the foundation, Steel supports and the piping drawings and isometrics. I have been able to work on many grass roots layout projects where I had nothing but A space to add my equipment. I have held so many titles from designer, checker to design lead. I believe my experience and approach to how to design, commitment to the effort to my employer and finish a project on time and below budget is a valuable asset.
