OBJECTIVE:  To perform product development and mechanical design functions using AutoCAD and Inventor in a team environment where I can use my broad experience working in multiple engineering disciplines to produce high-quality end products.

 

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:

 

Monie Enterprises, LLC

Owner operator providing mechanical design and AutoCAD drafting services

23665 SE Borges Road

Damascus, OR 97089

(503) 912-3115

June 2011 to Present

I provide mechanical design and drafting services as an independent contractor, most recently for Romtec Utilities, listed below, under the direction of Andy Dake.

 

Romtec Utilities, Inc.

18240 North Bank Road

Roseburg, OR 97470

(541) 496-9678

Supervisor:  Andy Dake

November 2007 to June 2011

40 to 50 hours per week

Salary:  $77,064/yr

 

Structural/Mechanical Engineering Duties: 

My responsibilities included coordination of the design and engineering of pumping stations for wastewater and storm water, raw and clean water, industrial waste and processed water, recycled and water/wastewater treatment.  It was my responsibility to make sure each pump station was engineered for specific site and performance demands and included all structural, mechanical and electrical/telemetry systems.  The pump stations were purchased by private owners, municipalities and government agencies. My responsibilities in this position included customer interface, communicating with civil and professional engineers, and evaluating architectural and civil drawings and site plans to make sure the integration of our pump station package fit seamlessly into the scheme of the clients’ project.  My duties took the projects from initial customer interface through the complete sizing and design of the system to the complete documentation package, which included detail drawings, 3D models and a complete Bill of Materials for the entire system.

AutoCAD Conversion and File System Management:

When I started with Romtec, one of my main responsibilities was to upgrade the company’s drawings from 2D AutoCAD to Autodesk Inventor 3D.  I recommended and directed the purchase of the product and was instrumental in the installation and implementation of the program.  I created an entirely new part numbering and inventory control system, as well as developed a very comprehensive parts library for the Inventor program.  My efforts streamlined the entire process from the initial quoting through design of the system to the release of the components to final production.  It dramatically increased the accuracy of the entire process, from pricing to reducing errors and omissions in drawings and Bills of Materials.
