What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead design delivery from FEED to IFC, apply standards-driven workflows, mentor teams, and work on large civil/structural infrastructure projects.

I am a Principal Civil/Structural Designer with over twenty-eight years' experience delivering civil infrastructure, government and commercial projects from FEED through IFC. I lead design teams, produce 2D and 3D deliverables, and develop standards, templates and manuals to ensure consistent, high-quality output.

My background includes extensive work on LNG, offshore platforms, pipelines, terminals and onshore facilities using Civil 3D, PDMS, MicroStation/OpenRoads and related tools. I have led modeling, clash checking, quantity takeoffs, and produced technical packages, RFIs and construction-ready drawings for major clients.

I prioritize practical, standards-driven design, clear coordination with engineering teams, and efficient production workflows. I deliver accurate models, manage project milestones, and create documentation and templates that improve collaboration and maintainability across projects.
