Structural / Civil Design Engineer with experience in steel frame structures, crane runway beams, open-frame storage buildings and internal frames for church domes and architectural canopies. Skilled in SolidWorks (3D modelling, strength assessments, workshop-ready fabrication drawings) and close coordination with fabrication teams on the production floor, including CNC plasma programs and material take-offs. Also experienced in chemical-resistant plastic equipment and industrial pipeline support structures: detailed drawings, CNC milling programs for plastic sheets and support of remote workshops and overseas installations. Open to relocation abroad and interested in structural engineering roles in [Australia / New Zealand / internationally].
Duties: · Designed and performed strength checks of overhead crane girders, crane runway beams and steel canopies in SolidWorks. · Prepared fabrication and assembly drawings for workshop production and site installation. · Coordinated technical details with customers and fabricators when required. · Sourced clients independently, negotiated project scope and concluded service contracts. Selected projects: · Runway girder for an overhead travelling crane, 12.5 m span, 12.5 t SWL. · Overhead travelling crane girder, 10.5 m span, 5 t SWL. · Other similar supporting steel structures and canopies. Achievement: · Developed a sizing table for crane girder sections based on span and SWL, reducing design time for repeated projects.
Duties: · Designed articulated and flexible steel structures used in fiberglass pipe winding equipment in SolidWorks. · Prepared detailed assembly drawings for workshop production. · Supported workshop operations and the development of auxiliary equipment. Selected projects: · Articulated equipment for winding fiberglass pipes with a diameter of 500 mm. · Traverses for lifting long products. · Cooling tower configuration studies to assess cooling performance. · Auxiliary equipment for workshop operations. Achievement: · Successfully designed an articulated winding drum for 500 mm diameter pipe production.
Duties: · Prepared fabrication and assembly drawings for chemical-resistant plastic structures, including galvanic baths, acid and water tanks, gas ducts and ventilation components. · Designed and performed strength calculations for steel support frames for plastic pipelines and equipment in SolidWorks. · Designed moulds/forms for fiberglass structure lay-up. · Created CNC programs for 3-axis milling of plastic sheets in ArtCam. · Supported remote workshop operations, machine setup and installation activities. · Supported installation during overseas business trips. Selected projects: · Polypropylene gas-distribution pipe with steel retaining structure for a sulfuric acid workshop, approximately 6 t, 15 m long, 14.5 m wide and 2.8 m internal diameter; prepared fabrication drawings, CNC cutting programs and supported installation management during the project. · Vertical and horizontal chemical tanks for different acids. · Gas scrubbers for dust and sulfur dioxide removal. · 120 m pipeline for sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid, approximately 1.4 m outer diameter. · Repair support for gold washing presses. Achievements: · Supported the successful installation of a 6-ton plastic pipe with a gas distributor during an international business trip to Uzbekistan. · Reduced CNC program preparation time by 2–3 times through process optimisation. · Improved CNC cutting accuracy through analysis and practical testing.
Duties: · Designed and analysed steel frame structures in SolidWorks, including domes, frames, canopies and related steel elements. · Prepared fabrication and assembly drawings for workshop production. · Worked on the production floor on a daily basis, coordinating closely with fabricators and workshop staff throughout design and manufacturing stages. · Prepared material take-offs and calculated stock length requirements and cutting layouts for steel sections to support procurement and reduce fabrication waste. · Carried out site measurements and contributed to customer-facing technical work. Selected projects: · Internal steel structure for a church dome, approximately 4 t, 8 m diameter and 8 m high. · Self-supporting steel frame carrying approximately 2.4 t of church bells, designed to imitate a brick masonry arch after cladding and plastering. · Steel spiral staircase with decorative wrought-iron balustrade, including 3D modelling in SolidWorks and preparation of fabrication and assembly drawings. · Open steel-frame hay storage structure with snow load of approximately 57.5 t. Achievements: · Developed a universal dome design concept adaptable to different shapes of supporting load-bearing structures. · Created a flexible computer model for dome internal structures, reducing design time from about 2 weeks to 2 days.
Duties: · Created CNC plasma cutting programs for a 2-axis cutting table in SheetCam. · Prepared assembly drawings for production. · Supported workshop engineering activities. Selected projects: · Stainless-steel sluice gates, approximately 2 m high and 5 m wide. · Stainless-steel sluice gates designed for approximately 10 m water depth. Achievements: · Created a technical instruction manual for work in SheetCam. · Identified that the standard lifting screw used for typical sluice gates would be critically undersized for a new design (approximately 4 m² gate at 10 m water depth) based on basic force calculations. Raised the issue with senior engineers, which led to a complete redesign of the lifting mechanism (stronger stainless steel grade and doubled screw diameter, increasing capacity by roughly eight times) and prevented a potentially unsafe and inoperable gate.
