Create accurate 3D models and 2D drawings from vendor documentation with engineering direction.

Produce complete mechanical design packages containing up to 80% custom assemblies.

Manage and execute work for up to four (4) concurrent mid- to high-custom projects.

Maintain high drafting accuracy with fewer than two (2) redline iterations on average due to drafting errors.

Create mechanical layouts for conduit supports and accommodate wiring requirements with input from an Advisor.

Reuse, adapt, and integrate vendor and legacy designs into current projects.

Provide peer reviews and technical feedback for junior designers and drafters as requested.

Serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) with recognized expertise in at least one technical orproduct category.
