Started my career in Whangarei, New Zealand working as a draughtsman/ Survey Technician for Land and Engineering Surveyors. My role included draughting of conceptual, legal and engineering plans for subdvisions. I also carried out legal and topo surveys using Total Stations and GPS.
I then moved to Christchurch, New Zealand to fill a postion as as a Engineering Technician / AutoCAD operator for a large Engineering Consultancy. I worked for 2 years primarily in the structural design group working on projects included telecommuncation towers, antartic equipment, tilt panel buildings, bridges and retaining structures. I then moved into infrastructure where i worked on projects including several dairy factories (green and brown field), prisons, schools (green and brown field), subdivisons and mining.
I now reside in Perth, Australia where i am employed by a large utility (power) provider to carry out civil design work, primarily for substations. I have been customising and implementing Geopak within the company which has been a challenge as i had never seen microstation before either!!
I am proficient with Autodesk products, Primarily AutoCAD and Civil 3D. I am slowly become more proficient with Microstation and Geopak
