· Senior Design Land Development: Consisted of
Surveying a plot of land and designing a subdivision. The parcels
were laid out using the Athens City subdivision regulations. The storm
water and sanitation systems, access road and intersection with the main
road, and grading for drainage and for flood plain considerations were
designed. The cost of construction and project duration were
estimated, and shared green space for subdivision residents was
incorporated into the layout.

Northeast Ohio Natural
Gas, Pleasantville, OH 43148
Operations Engineer, July 2012 – December 2012
·
Assign and create capital job orders
and estimate their material, cost, and duration. Analyze and design
jobs that compliment system integrity. Design efficient,
cost-effective town border stations. Design commercial meter
settings. Research products and meet with suppliers. Install
service lines and hang meters.
·
As an Operations Engineer, I was able
to experience a part of the gas industry that I had not yet been exposed
to. I was trained to design natural gas stations and settings, and to
imagine unique solutions to the wide range of problems involved in that
process. I also had the opportunity to work in the field installing
gas service lines and hanging meters. This hands-on experience has
given me a unique perspective into the day-today challenges faced by field
crews, and is all part of my desire to grow as a professional.

of the gas industry. I enjoy taking advantage of all the learning
opportunities that come my way whether it be a training course or advise
from a colleague. I enjoyed this position, but I also long for new
challenges. That is why I continue to strive to expand my horizons as
a professional.

Engineered Retaining Systems, Knoxville, TN
Foreman/Project
Engineer, August 2007 – May 2008
·
Manage crews of 5 to 14 employees,
Conduct site layout and oversee wall construction, Inventory onsite
materials, Place orders for materials, Evaluate the project’s progress and
set daily and weekly production goals for crews, Coordinate jobsite setup, excavation
activities, and infrastructure installation with other contractors,
Keep a daily log of activities, Operate machinery.
·
A typical day for me starts with a
safety meeting, explaining the day’s goals, and the ordering of
materials. Next, I lay out the wall and give my excavation crew their
elevations. As the wall goes up, I ensure that every activity is
value-added and that the quality of installation is satisfactory. It is
a highly demanding position with a great amount of responsibility, and it has
given me a new level of work ethic and a better understanding of the
construction industry.
Ohio Department of
Transportation, Marietta, OH
Project
Inspector, Summer 2005, 2006
· Monitored the progress of contractors on state
funded jobs, Inspected contractors’ work making sure it met state
regulations, Assessed construction plans for errors, Calculated and monitored
quantities of pay items.
· Most of my experience is with slip repair and
highway jobs. I checked elevations during excavation and filling, and
performed compaction tests on the fill. I have overseen the
installation of drainage tiles, and the setup and maintenance of traffic
control devices. I have also overseen storm pipe installation, box
culvert repair and installation, and blasting. However, one of the main
tools I gained from this job was how to work closely with people from
multiple organizations to achieve a common goal.
