I am a Mechanical CAD Designer and Draughtsperson with 5+ years of professional experience in 2D drafting, 3D modelling, plant design and manufacturing documentation across oil & gas, paper manufacturing and heavy industry. I work with AutoCAD Plant 3D, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge and Navisworks to turn concepts, sketches, existing drawings and engineering requirements into accurate, practical CAD deliverables. My experience includes 3D mechanical models, P&IDs, PFDs, General Arrangement drawings, piping layouts, isometric drawings, fabrication drawings, sheet metal designs, DXF files, skid designs and Bills of Materials. I also have hands-on project experience involving field measurements, clash detection, drawing revisions, manufacturing, assembly, welding and workshop inspections. This allows me to design with real-world fabrication and installation requirements in mind. I can help with: • 2D CAD drafting and drawing conversion • 3D mechanical modelling and assemblies • Mechanical and manufacturing drawings • Fabrication-ready drawings • Plant 3D and piping layouts • P&IDs, PFDs, GAs and isometrics • Sheet metal and DXF drawings • Bills of Materials • Drawing revisions and CAD modifications • Concept-to-manufacturing CAD development If you have a sketch, PDF, existing drawing, 3D model or engineering concept, send me your requirements and I can help turn it into a professional CAD solution.

I am a practical CAD designer, project manager and business owner with hands-on experience across construction, shopfitting, signage, electrical installations, rope access and commercial project delivery. My strength is combining CAD design with real-world site experience. I understand that a drawing must not only look correct on screen—it also needs to make practical sense when it is manufactured, installed or used on site. My CAD experience includes 2D technical drawings, layouts, drawing modifications, PDF/sketch-to-CAD conversion, 3D modelling, STEP and DXF files, concept development and rendered visualisations. I have also used CAD and 3D visualisation to develop concepts and potential equipment solutions for unusual rope-access and site-access challenges. My practical experience includes designing and fabricating support structures, electrical and signage installations, shopfitting, fault-finding, site measurements and solving installation challenges in real working environments. I founded SKALT (Pty) Ltd in 2025, through which I provide project management, construction, technical and rope-access services. Projects have included commercial shopfitting, office and furniture relocations, technical installations and site-specific design work. My project-management experience includes managing furniture relocations for VEGA Design School and Varsity College to their new premises in Sandton, as well as acting as Head Project Manager for the refurbishment of Komatsu Modular Mining's Bryanston offices on behalf of Scarab Projects. Through SKALT, I have also completed shopfitting work for a Good Earth store relocation in Plettenberg Bay and continue to assist Scarab Projects with commercial and educational furniture layouts, including current layout work for Rosebank College. Before establishing SKALT, I worked as General Manager at NorthStar Signs, where my responsibilities included managing commercial signage projects. This included project management of safety and general centre signage installations at Robberg Shopping Centre in Plettenberg Bay. My technical education includes N4 Electrical Engineering studies, including Mathematics, Engineering Science and Electrotechnics. I also hold a CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting and have completed training in advanced Microsoft Excel and data analysis. I am additionally IRATA Level 1 qualified in rope access. I am comfortable working from client sketches, measurements, existing drawings, photographs and technical requirements to develop clear CAD drawings and models. I value accuracy, practical problem-solving, attention to detail and clear communication with clients. I am particularly interested in assisting clients with: * 2D CAD drafting and technical drawings * PDF, sketch or existing drawing to CAD conversion * DXF drawing creation and modification * 2D-to-3D conversion * 3D part and component modelling * STEP models * Furniture, office and equipment layouts * Shopfitting and installation layouts * Basic fabrication and support-structure drawings * Site-specific concept development * CAD visualisation and rendered concepts * Drawing corrections, modifications and clean-up For work requiring professional engineering, architectural certification or regulatory approval, I can produce drawings and models from specifications supplied by the client or relevant professional, with final technical approval remaining with the appropriately qualified person.

I am a qualified Draughtsman with 17 years experience working mainly on the Sigmanest software in the Lasercutting Industry. I have experience using the Autodesk, AutoCad software as well as a basic understanding of the Inventor software in which I would like to expand my knowledge. Prior to becoming a Draughtsman I was a Maintenance Electrician in a manufacturing environment for thirteen years. It was in this position that I was introduced to AutoCad as I was asked to document all of the electrical and mechanical drawings for the machines that were in the production plant. I am now seeking to offer my services to businesses that would like to update or backup the drawings for their equipment. I can offer them 2D drawings in a PDF format which allow them to print the drawings as well in DWG format for them to save into an Archive.

I am a well rounded individual, that finishes given work in the shortest time possible. With extreme attention to detail and accuracy I work well alone aswell as in a team. I worked my way up fairly fast from single component drawings for a sheet metal fabrication company, to heading up my own projects always ensuring my projects are done in time.
