DENISE  C.  RECTOR,  LEED  AP  BD+C__                  Thank  you  for  reviewing  my  skills  and  experience.    I  am  a  2D  AutoCAD  drafter  with  17  years  experience  in  drafting  and  design  for  architecture  and  engineering  firms.    However,  I  intend  to  enroll  in  3D  CAD  or  Revit  training  within  a  year’s  time.    For  now,  I  will  elaborate  on  my  skills  and  experiences.    At  FedEx  Ground,  I  worked  in  the  Facility  Design  section  of  the  Facility  &  Materials  Handling  Engineering  Department.    I  followed  instructions  and  standard  design  criteria  for  creating  or  revising  building  and  site  plans  for  our  distribution  centers  all  over  North  America.    Once  our  sets  were  complete,  we  sent  these  sets  to  the  local  architecture  or  design-­‐build  team  in  that  facility’s  municipality  to  generate  a  complete  stamped  set  for  permitting  and  construction.    Mostly,  I  compared  As-­‐Built  drawings  to  the  latest  in-­‐house  set.    If  there  were  no  changes,  I  recorded  them  into  the  Adept  CAD  filing  system.      If  there  were  changes,  I  would  update  in-­‐house  set,  go  through  in-­‐house  review  and  approval  process,  and  upload  into  Adept.    At  A&I  Studio,  I  was  the  designer  and  drafter  for  both  architectural  and  MEP  drawings.    Our  projects  were  permit  drawings  for  the  state  plans  examining  department  for  small  commercial  buildings,  additions,  and  renovations.    These  were  complete  architectural  sets,  which  included  site  plans,  floor  plans,  sections,  elevations,  schedules,  and  details.    A  few  of  our  architectural  sets  included  MEP  drawings,  complete  with  layouts  of  equipment  and  devices,  panel  schedules,  equipment  specifications,  and  relevant  sections  and  details.    I  assisted  in  fieldwork,  addressing  code  department  comments,  and  minor  secretarial  work.    Primarily,  our  office  used  AutoCAD  2002,  but  used  AutoCAD  2015  when  required.    Our  office  also  did  contract  drafting  services  for  Clean  Room  Designs,  LLC  –  a  firm  in  Columbus,  OH  who  specializes  in  designing  clean  rooms  for  hospitals.    At  Purtle  &  Associates,  I  was  an  electrical  designer  and  drafter.    Along  with  drafting  red-­‐marks  for  all  MEP  disciplines,  I  assisted  the  engineers  with  preliminary  electrical  design.    This  included:  lighting  layouts  with  fixtures  specified;  electrical  outlet  layouts;  circuiting  all  lights,  outlets,  HVAC  and  plumbing  equipment  to  panels  and  initial  panel  sizing;  basic  one-­‐line  diagrams  and  electrical  risers.    I  also  did  preliminary  design  on  ball  field  lighting  layouts  and  fire  protection  systems.    At  Meers  Engineering,  I  did  all  the  duties  mentioned  above,  in  addition  to:  red-­‐marks  for  industrial  projects,  such  as  PLC  and  P&ID  wiring  diagrams;  architectural  drawings  for  small  scale  commercial  buildings;  red-­‐marks  for  civil,  survey,  and  structural  drawings.    I  also  did  light  architectural  work,  such  as  a  small  offices  and  restrooms  within  warehouse  and  small  office  buildings  for  industrial  facilities.    My  retail  experience  involves  mostly  architectural  build-­‐outs  for  tenant  spaces  at  shopping  centers.    At  Slowik  and  Associates,  our  retail  clients  included  American  Eagle  Outfitters  (clothing)  and  Sweets  from  Heaven  (candy).    At  GNC,  Inc.  (General  Nutrition  Center),  I  was  a  drafter  in  the  construction  department  of  the  world  headquarters.    While  there,  my  duties  included:    architectural  design  and  drafting;  coordinating  local  code  requirements;  coordinating  MEP  drawings  with  architectural.    At  the  architectural  firms,  my  experience  largely  involved:    drafting  red-­‐marks;  space  planning;  transferring  hardcopy  drawings  into  CAD  files;  and  field  measuring.    Although  I  have  no  formal  education  in  either  architecture  or  engineering,  I  have  working  knowledge  of  the  terminology,  and  typical  design  methods  associated  with  these  fields.    My  formal  education  was  in  interior  design.    The  curriculum  included:    board  drafting  and  CAD;  perspective  drawing;  and  space  planning.    I  have  not  sought  NCIDQ  certification,  as  I  have  yet  to  find  employment  as  an  interior  designer  to  meet  the  exam’s  requirements.    However,  I  am  an  accredited  professional  (AP)  in  the  Leadership  in  Energy  and  Environmental  Design  sustainable  building  program  (LEED).    I  am  enrolled  in  their  Building  Design  and  Construction  (BD+C)  credential  maintenance  program  to  stay  current  with  sustainable  practices,  products,  materials,  design,  and  documentation.    Thank  you  again  for  reviewing  my  skills  and  experiences.    I  look  forward  to  hearing  from  you.
