About me

I draw the controls your team builds.

I'm an instrumentation and controls engineer. For over a decade HOLD I've designed control panels, machine electrical systems and plant instrumentation, from the first P&ID markup to drawings issued for construction.

thecontrolsengineer is how I work with integrators and panel shops directly, wherever they are: as a remote design desk that drafts in your standards, your CAD platform and your title block, so your engineers stay on the jobs only they can do.

How I work

Three rules on every sheet.

01

Your standards, not mine

Your symbol library, numbering scheme and title block. The drawings should look like your shop drew them.

02

Checked before you see it

Every sheet goes through a written checklist before issue, so your review is about design, not typos.

03

Clear scope, fixed price

You know what you get, what it costs and when it lands before any work starts.

Send the scope or book a short call. I reply within one business day. HOLD
