Manos T.

I help engineering teams, contractors, and building owners develop clear CAD drawings, practical fire protection solutions, accurate quantity takeoffs, and well-structured technical proposals.

I am a Mechanical Engineer and Sales Engineer at ZARIFOPOULOS in Greece. My work combines engineering studies, site surveys, system design support, equipment selection, technical proposals, and project coordination. My experience includes hotels, commercial buildings, banks, and airport infrastructure.

I combine hands-on site experience with engineering and commercial understanding, helping clients develop solutions that account for installation requirements, equipment compatibility, and project budgets.

WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH

Fire Protection & Suppression Systems
• Fire suppression studies, system layouts, equipment selection, and technical documentation.
• ANSUL R-102 commercial kitchen fire suppression systems, supported by certification in system design, installation, and inspection.
• Hydraulic calculations for CO₂ and FK-5-1-12 gaseous fire suppression systems using dedicated calculation software.
• Cylinder bank sizing and configuration support based on project requirements and manufacturer software.

Fire Detection & Aspirating Smoke Detection
• Fire detection drawings, device layouts, equipment schedules, and quantity takeoffs.
• Aspirating smoke detection system design and pipe network calculations using VESDA- and INIM-related software.
• Relevant certification covering aspirating smoke detection system design, installation, and inspection.
• Review of project requirements and preparation of supporting technical documentation.

2D Drafting & 3D Mechanical Design
• AutoCAD drafting, drawing revisions, and technical layouts.
• 3D part and assembly modeling using SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor.
• Mechanical component drawings and design documentation.
• Updating drawings to reflect site measurements and installation requirements.

Technical Proposals, BOQs & Tender Support
• Material and equipment takeoffs from drawings and specifications.
• Bills of quantities, equipment schedules, and cost comparison spreadsheets.
• Technical and commercial proposals, scope-of-work descriptions, and equipment comparisons.
• KNX and BMS proposal preparation and equipment selection support.

Engineering Analysis & Reporting
• Mechanical engineering calculations and technical reports.
• Engineering data analysis and clear presentation of results.
• Excel spreadsheets, Word documentation, and PowerPoint presentations.
• Support with 3D-printed component development and experimental analysis, drawing on my research into the mechanical behavior of cantilever snap-fit joints.
