As an Engineer I at Mears, I have been a field engineer for ATMOS Energy working for their Bare Steel Survey Project as the lead engineer and a secondary Engineer on their Vintage PE Project. I utilized ArcGIS, an ESRI tool in order to create a data base, store information, and maintain real time production of work. I have created AC Mitigation Plan View and Rectifier Schematic Drawings for Enbridge using Civil3D.I also created material for promotional videos and educational webinars.
