John O’Connor BSc (Hons) Arch Tech
A highly motivated, ambitious and progressive Architectural Technologist with relevant experience across a
range of specialties, key insight from a strong trade background and a very strong academic base in the area.
My roles have involved working closely with Architects in all stages of the construction process (from Survey
to Construction drawings), creating clear, accurate 2D and 3D drawings while liaising with a wide cross
section of stakeholders including Engineers, Contractors and Manufacturers.
My experience in a small firm has given me the opportunity to get involved in a much wider cross section of
the spectrum which has enhanced my learning and development in my role as an architectural technologist.
