SOLIDWORKS Designer & Estimating

Summary:

Uses SolidWorks (3D Design Software) to design parts per external engineering specifications, as well as internal requests. Manufacturing drawings are comprised from the 3D drawings for use on the production floor. Sets up new parts within MRP software and evaluates current product line for improvements or additions to existing lines. Deals directly with customers during the design and estimating phases of custom production, which includes using a company vehicle to make site visits. Takes direction on priority from the design and estimating supervisor when needed. Inspects quality of work on custom projects and makes certain that the custom projects are built correctly when necessary.
