Due to me being able to do this I became the most knowledgeable user of this software product so I can produce windows and doors using this software quickly. I have been using Solidworks 2019 professional on a regular basis to design and produce workshop drawings for our factory machines & operatives to make multiple unitized curtain wall units and produce different types sheet metal components eg: flashings, panels and etc: Also as the standard practice with any design office of this nature I have been using AutoCAD 2019 on a daily basis. I have helped train one of the current trainee designers, who was one of the factory shop floor workers to a good standard of work. Show less At the company above I held the position of Designer.

In the above company, I held the position of a Design Technician where I was able to learn new glazing systems and different ordering systems. I worked on a large university block project in Liverpool, where the building façade was 80% made up with unitized curtain walling and the rest made up with rainscreen and SG stick curtain walling. My involvement in this project was doing the workshop drawings.
