I'm an AutoCAD and Archibus Specialist with nearly 20 years experience in drafting and computer aided facility management with a associate degree in Architectural Design and Construction looking for a full time job.
After I completed my associate’s degree I wanted to gain some work experience before I continued with my education in Architecture and Construction. At that point, my life took a turn, and I ended up working for CFI doing computer aided facility management. I spent 8 years at CFI working with AutoCAD and Archibus doing projects for various companies. Later, I was offered a position at the DMC working on their as-built drawings and utilizing Archibus to help the DMC better manage their facilities. In the 10 years I worked at the DMC, many roles and responsibilities where added to my job and in the end I was not only managing the CAD system but also had input in and was able to design medical and office space. Now I find myself coming full circle and working on new designs for people and companies at the Architectural firm R. J. Howey, Inc.
Despite the fact that I enjoy what I do and where I work, I am currently only working part time and I’m looking for a full time job. I have many skills and a good work ethic and I would enjoy the opportunity to work hard for you and your company.
