JOB DESCRIPTIONS

                                                    

 

BURLINGTON NORTHERN RAILROAD:

I worked for the railroad for about 11 years as a track welder, welding broken railroad track to prevent train derailments.  I then sold my job to return to college.

 

 

NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION:

I worked here for 13 years in 3 different departments; Roadway Design, Right of Way Designer, and Right of Way Negotiator/Buyer.  I started out as a drafter designing roadway for new highway projects using auto cad.

I then moved to the right of way department as a right of way designer, designing new right of way for highway projects using auto cad and cogo works.

I then moved to the right of way negotiation department. My responsibilities were to get the property appraisals from the appraiser, do the paper work and send that and the offer to each landowner, then make appointments with them to meet and discuss their issues if they have any, then negotiate with them to get them to sign the paperwork.  Before I meet with the landowners I would do title research at the courthouse to make sure our paperwork is up to date and if not find the new owners of the property.

 

 

XCEL ENERGY:

I have been with xcel since February 2005 to February 2013, designing electrical transmission & distribution for Colorado using GIS SMALLWORLD and AUTO CAD 2010 as well as EXPERT DESIGNER. My responsibilities include map corrections, working with outage management on switching procedures load changes, work orders, using oms top val report to correct unconnected customers and helping the analysts with final posting. I’ve also done many special projects and spent about 4 months in the mountain division updating their plat books.
