Background

About Mark Shaw

I am a building structures draughtsman/modeller working in a civil/structural design consultancy environment since 2006. I have a strong background in 2D AutoCAD draughting and 3D Revit modelling, along with a developing knowledge of reinforced concrete detailing both manually and using CADS RC. I am proficient at converting sketch designs into technical drawings, producing a full range of general arrangement layouts, elevations, sections and details to company standards. I have been involved in projects ranging from small-scale refurbishments to multi-million pound developments both in the UK and overseas utilising steel, concrete, timber and masonry. Clients have been in both the public and private sectors and have included Stoke City Football Club, Leeds Bradford International Airport, Lancashire County Council, Network Rail and Chester Zoo. I have extensive experience of document control duties relating to the receipt and issue of drawings/documentation, often through the use of project portal sites and web-based management systems such as Asite and Viewpoint, helping to establish good co-ordination and close working practices between members of the design team. I enjoy working closely with colleagues in order to provide timely and cost-effective solutions that meet with the requirements of the client. I also have a keen interest in the mentoring and coaching of junior members of staff, along with an interest in the subject of mental health within the workplace, which is something that I would like to develop further going forward.
