Engineering

At Perry Fiberglass, it was recognized that I work extremely well on large projects. I have a high level of consistency, my CAD drawing space is kept very orderly, I check my own work for errors, and large projects highlight my organizational skills. These qualities allowed my supervisor to entrust me with many general items so he could spend his time on more important details. While there, I volunteered to be the drafter for a newly acquired FRP tank company. I instituted a 3 point cross-check on those drawings to ensure accuracy in fabrication.

A daily responsibility at Perry Fiberglass was to create and print tap and elbow patterns. I created a form for the fabrication crews to request the patterns they needed, saving me a lot of trips back to the shop in search of necessary information! I learned the Design2Fab program which was designed for use with sheet metal. The restriction with this program was that we could create things with FRP that weren't part of the library, so I was tasked with creating patterns from scratch for taps on elbows as well as shoe taps. I love a challenge!

Hy-Tek Material Handling provides rack systems among other products and services. One of my main priorities was to lay out the back room rack systems for a national retailer. That responsibility included layout changes, working with the customer's designers, change orders, material ordering, delivery confirmations, installation packets, and answering questions and solving problems that arose during installation. Our crews were only on site for typically 3-5 days, so timing was critical.
