I also facilitate project / design discussions with cross-functional teams, provide design direction and oversee the engineering drafting of my projects.I have been involved in capital projects with budgets of $0.5 - $7M in the fields of rotating equipment, material handling, material testing, structures, and classification & separation. I am currently managing or taking a leading role in a portfolio of projects >$12M.As a Responsible Engineer I work with my customer to understand their requirements and produce a solution.
