Andrew Malec Email & Phone Number

My name is Andrew Malec and I am a current Chemical Engineering Student at Rowan University seeking a 2024 internship. I am attracted to opportunities that lead me to learn, grow, and refine my current skills that will help me become an effective engineer. I currently posses skills in CAD, CNC programming, and basic circuitry.Leadership, efficiency, and teamwork are some of the biggest qualities I have developed in my experiences as an employee, a student, and an athlete. At A2 Management, the pool management company I am employeed with from May through August every summer, I am able to reflect these skills. My responsibilites as a manager include going from pool to pool and training our lifeguards, setting up/closing facilites, maintaining and repairing pool equipment, ensuring pool chemical levels are in order, answering to patrons, enforcing rules, and biggest of all, problem-solving and thinking on my feet. When a pipe bursts or a child gets hurt, there is no time for hesitation. Beginning as a lifeguard and moving into a management position as my work ethic was recognized has helped me become the effective employee I am today. With these qualities, I have also been an employee of the Rowan Recreation Center as a Lifeguard and have been able to develop greater teamwork skills through in-services and monthly meetings. My passion for vehicles and how they work began as a kid and has followed me through life. I have lived up to the title "Motorhead" as my favorite hobby has included buying, fixing, and selling cars, trucks, atvs, dirtbikes and tractors. Making a profit while doing what I love most has allowed me to continue to expand my knowledge and learn how every part of a vehicle works. I rebuilt my first motorcycle engine at the age of 15, and by the time I was 18 I had my first car engine and transmission ready to build. Through my experiences working on others' vehicles as well as my own, I have learned to take pride in my work, and while making sure to take the most efficient route, ensuring that shortcuts are never taken is crucial. These are qualities that I plan to use in any engineering job I am assigned, and I look forward to gaining opportunities to exercise these skills.
