Current Job Title: Senior Technologist
Current Employer: Hatch Associates Consultants, Inc
I am the Lead Structural Designer for major projects organizing a diverse team from various offices & countries to produce project deliverables with quality and within schedule.
I served on a team which was awarded the Hatch Central North America Region, Gold Quality Award 2015 to the USS Granite City Works #1 Caster Replacement Team. “In recognition of their commitment to client satisfaction, quality and performance excellence resulting in remarkable teamwork, reliability and exceptional delivery outcomes.”
This project was interesting because we were taking a caster out of a decommissioned mill and relocating it to replace a smaller caster. Quite the challenge to get everything to fit. We modeled the new structures with Bentley Structural using point clouds to verify conditions.
Fondest PTC memory: Manual Board Drafting & pencil dust
