As a Project Engineer at Trinity Industries, a market-leader in the energy, transportation, chemical, and construction industries, I played a key role in the transportation sector’s rail cars unit, specifically in the design and enhancement of components for box freight cars. My position included the design of rail car components using Inventor. By modifying design elements, our team was able to reduced material and production costs of tank and freight car components by 25%. My responsibilities also included preparing and modifying documentation for initiative projects, including change orders, adjusting drawings and updating bill structures.
