Professional Experience
I am a professional electrical engineer with experience in producing construction documents for power, lighting, communication
rough-in, and mechanical coordination for both commercial and residential projects. Included within these responsibilities are
working with the architect, building owner, general and subcontractors, other trades, owners’ and manufacturing
representatives, and handling construction design questions, alternatives, shop drawings, project construction administration,
and field problems. Construction Administration experience includes construction phase with site observations, equipment
shop drawing reviews, and assisting and working with field foremen In house tasks included development of spreadsheets in
Excel for panel and load calculations, specifications, coordinating AutoCAD drafting in 2D and 3D, and drawings for
construction and proposal presentations. Working for an electrical contractor, I developed drawings for construction proposal
interviews, and tabulated information for estimate costs. Past experience includes:
