After my High School years at the Arts Class, Architecture and Engineering became my field of interest together with renewable and sustainable energies and civil construction. Elected Universidade Lusíada to get started with an Architecture degree. While I was beginning my 3rd grade appeared the opportunity to get a degree in the Civil Construction area, which increased my world of knowledge and opportunities.
In 2006 I finished that degree of Civil Construction Design Technician which laded to an invitation from my trainee period for my first job as a Draughtsman and CAD Technician at LMSA-Building Engineering. There I got specialized in HVAC, Electrical, Telecommunications and Security installations. AutoCAD was my tool since the beginning and worked with a lot of versions of that. There I was responsible for a large number of projects like, Orient and Occident Towers of Colombo Shopping, hotels like Myriad Lisbon, Vasco da Gama Shopping, Sana Luanda, Capitol, Cabinda, Falésia, Pine Cliffs Resort and Dolce Vita Shopping. During this stage I went to a Renewable Energies course of 8 months at Master D.
After 4 years at LMSA, I received an offer from EPPE that gave me the opportunity to get experience and learn with other professionals. The most significant projects that had in hands for almost 2 years were: Primark Sintra, Primark Portimão, Primark Coimbra and Passeio das Águas Shopping in Goiânia-Brasil.
In July of 2012, PEN, another HVAC engineering enterprise, invited me to work as a freelancer for about 12 months. In this company I worked in projects like: Auchan Alegro Setubal Shopping Centre, Sonae Supermarkets, Sonae Sierra Algarve Shopping Centre, Luanda Villas and Santander Totta Agencies.
After about 7 years of experience in Portugal, I established in England working at PCB Technical Solutions, former FourSeasons Group - Installation.
Grateful for you attention,
Ricardo Medeiros.
