About

With a background marked by precision in 2D and 3D design, I've honed my expertise in SOLIDWORKS and AutoCAD as an Engineering Technician at Manchester Tanks and currently at Access Express VIC. My core competencies lie in leading the design process for new product development, particularly within the mining and rail sectors, and ensuring the meticulous execution of production schedules. At Manchester Tanks, our team excelled in creating detailed drawings for factory equipment upgrades, and I contributed significantly to the management of customer quotes and new product part numbers. Embracing the challenges of internal sales at Access Express VIC, I am committed to leveraging my technical skills to streamline customer delivery timelines, thereby reinforcing the organization's reputation for reliability and precision. My approach is rooted in collaboration and a dedication to driving the seamless transition of projects from conception to delivery.
