Completed a 2 year rotational program at Avangrid as a Project Engineer. In this position, I learned the basics of gas distribution engineering, gas operations, gas construction & maintenance, gas meter services, corrosion engineering, cathodic protection, pressure regulation controls and SCADA controls, LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) and leadership. I am very familiar with the PHMSA Pipeline Safety Regulations Part 192 (49 CFR 192). I have a solid foundation of corrosion technician work… Show more Completed a 2 year rotational program at Avangrid as a Project Engineer.

I have a solid foundation of corrosion technician work including conducting pipe to soil potential readings and basic trouble shooting of cathodic protection rectifiers. My project work history includes gas main replacements, cast iron main abandonments, new business service installations, updating DIMP (Distribution Integrity Management Program), and creating P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) for city gate stations.

Communicated with distribution engineers and estimating department and created a process flow map that documented the current estimating process in gas distribution construction work. As a result, the Gas Distribution team gained valuable insights on bottlenecks and non-value adding steps. Analyzed the current encroachment permit process flow maps from 7 divisions and identified key issues and non-value adding steps to create a standardize to-be process that will be implemented company… Show more Communicated with distribution engineers and estimating department and created a process flow map that documented the current estimating process in gas distribution construction work.
