Being an expert Mechanical Engineer provides challenges on a daily basis, I enjoy being challenged and I'm adept at providing solutions. Being raised on an Australian Farm allowed me to gain early knowledge of what a Mechanical Engineer does. I found I had an aptitude for mechanical engineering and I enjoyed the process of first finding the problem, then supplying the fix. This sense of achievement is seeing something through to the finish has followed me ever since, and has not just enabled success as a Mechanical Engineer, but also a Project Manager. I enjoy learning new skills, techniques and knowledge, I can converse professionally in many cultures and diversified backgrounds. Here are some selected traits that have made my career as a Mechanical Engineer a success so far. Dedication and Self-motivation: "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." I have no idea who said that but it's true. I haven't been late for work in over 32 years - I'm never late for something that I enjoy. Stakeholder Relations: building positive partnerships as a Project Manager and Mechanical Engineer has been essential for success. Project Management: extensive experience over 12 years in many special projects up to $5Mn requiring design analysis and recommendations, technical specifications, product procurement and implementation. Supplier Relations: I've traveled widely representing my current organisation with SQA and a track record of strong and profitable supplier relations. Knowledge Sharing:I've accumulated a vast amount of engineering know-how and enjoy mentoring other Mechanical Engineers. Murray e-mail: murray.d.smith@optusnet.com.au mb: 0411 421 296
