Rolls and Responsibities
Produce detailed shop drawings, including 3D renderings from client supplied project briefs for approval and internal manufacturing.
Close collaboration with clients, internal team members, and suppliers to ensure the optimal outcome for the final delivered product.
Create CAD files for in-house manufacturing and out-sourced components.
Reflections and acheivements
I thoroughly enjoyed the in-house production environment, where I could collaborate with co-workers on pre-production workshopping, problem-solving and refining project fabrication and finishes before and during production. I also jumped on any opportunity to be hands-on with manufacturing whenever possible.
Taking on the additional role of CNC operations during a transitional staffing phase, despite no prior experience, and subsequently re-building the workflow from ground-up and facilitated the onboarding of a replacement team member.
Working closely with the production manager to develop efficient manufacturing solutions for complex and time-sensitive projects, aiming to optimise both time and cost factors.
