Nice to meet you, I'm Deon.

I was a structural detailer / drafter at ELLUC Projects, a BIM consulting firm based in the UK, with branches in the Asia Pacific and Australia for detailing and drafting work.

Some notable projects I worked on...

Beginning from nothing, I learnt Tekla Structures, and within a few weeks, I was contributing to projects.

For each project, there might be...

And then, in only a few months, all the senior detailers on the team left, leaving me and the other 2 detailers that joined with me as the new "senior" detailers. Wow, good job, us.

And as the new seniors, we had to get even newer trainees up to speed to quickly replace the people who left. With our whopping 3 months of experience with the AUS/NZ building codes and standards, as well as our expertise reading and understanding architectural and civil plans. we did the best we could with the new starters.

In the end, the Aus team was ultimately let go as the company was downsizing and refocusing its efforts towards engineering consultation over detailing services. It was a tumultuous time, as it usually is with a small business trying to find its footing in a competitive industry and the projects aren't coming in. but the people I worked with all made the 2 hour commute each I took each way (not joking by the way) to work a worthwhile time.

SO WHY ME?

I learnt how to make this website over a weekend. Just for you.

I'm not saying that whatever position I'm applying to will be easy, bit I have the capability to learn anything on the job. Seriously, how hard can it be?

Anyway, please give my references a call or shoot them an email. There's no point in trying hard and succeeding at your job if no-one believes me or takes me seriously, so please do.
