You will see that I draw on a practical trade background as I am a qualified fitter & turner, a qualified draftsman and hold a diploma in engineering.
Having worked as a tradesman, a supervisor, a draftsman and a project manager, I choose to work as a draftsman as this is the occupation I enjoy most & I continue to develop my computer aided design skills, hold my own Solidworks 2014 software license and workstation.

- Modelled & designed sheet metal parts, profile cut, machined and fabricated components, weldments and assemblies.
- Created detailed manufacturing drawings as well as the DXF, step & PDF files required for laser/plasma cutting, CNC bending and component production.
- Revised & updated engineering drawings & 3D models.
- Upgraded designs to ensure compliance with the relevant Australian standards.
-Redrawn engineered products from samples to develop new products.
-Supported purchasing, production/manufacturing departments and provided images and data to salespersons.
