I’m a mechanically minded professional who enjoys understanding how things are built, how they fit together, and how designs translate into real-world outcomes. I’m naturally curious, detail-oriented, and hands-on, with a strong interest in engineering design, drafting, and manufacturing environments.

I work well in structured engineering teams but am equally comfortable taking ownership of tasks independently. I value clear communication, organised work, and practical solutions that consider safety, quality, and constructability. I enjoy roles where I can collaborate with engineers, trades, and site teams to turn concepts into something tangible.

I’m currently focused on building a long-term career in mechanical engineering and drafting and am actively strengthening my technical foundation. I adapt quickly to new tools, standards, and industries and enjoy learning by doing.

I hold full Australian working rights, am open to relocation, FIFO, or site-based roles, and am motivated by challenging environments where continuous improvement, accountability, and teamwork are valued.

Mechanical Engineer and Design Draftsperson with 2+ years of hands-on experience supporting oil & gas and industrial engineering projects, with a strong focus on practical, build-ready design. I have worked closely with engineers, project teams, and operations to produce accurate 2D and 3D drawings, piping layouts, fabrication details, bills of materials, and technical documentation aligned with Australian and international standards.

I bring strong capability in CAD and engineering software including AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and Plant 3D, supported by advanced skills in Microsoft Excel, Word, and data analysis. My background includes exposure to piping systems, mechanical equipment, and brownfield project environments, where accuracy, safety, and coordination across disciplines are critical.

Currently, I am transitioning back fully into an engineering and drafting-focused role after working in operations, bringing with me a strong understanding of project delivery, stakeholder communication, and real-world site constraints. I am also pursuing a Certificate IV in Engineering Drafting beyond my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering degree to further strengthen my technical drafting and compliance knowledge in AS.

I'm highly adaptable, comfortable working autonomously or within multidisciplinary teams, and motivated by roles where designs move from screen to site. I hold full Australian working rights, am open to relocation, FIFO or site-based work, and enjoy challenging environments where quality, safety, and continuous improvement are valued.

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (EA accredited), providing a strong foundation in engineering principles including mechanical design, manufacturing processes, materials engineering, thermodynamics, and engineering analysis. My studies emphasised practical application of theory, technical problem-solving, and the use of engineering drawings and standards, preparing me to contribute effectively in design, drafting, maintenance, and project-based engineering roles. I have bagged an academic scholarship for my exceptional performance in both exams, practical applications and extra-curriculars.
