3D Viz Technical Draftsman, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Melbourne, Australia (2009 - 2013)
Responsible for the production of cost-effective visualisations intended to illustrate engineering designs to the public better. I worked closely with Stakeholders, clients, and the public in order to match the design to their comments. Often the sites in question would have an issue regarding water pollution or contaminated land. My simple visualisations based on CAD drawings and discussions with the engineering teams led to producing cost-effective designs that would help relay a form of visual communication to the local community. All content was based on 2D blueprints from CAD before modeling and rendering in Sketchup and Photoshop.
CAD Designer, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Melbourne, Australia (2007-2013),
Primarily responsible for the production of Civil, Highway, and Water Engineering designs in CAD from Preliminary Design right through to Construction.
