Power Distribution Design- As a Power technologist, I designed distribution poles including primary and secondary framing. I utilize various software and programs to load the poles and perform tests to assure they pass the thresholds and forces applied to the pole. To complete this task I use software such as Ocalc Pro, AutoCad, MET Cad software, and SpidaCalc. I have been selected to be a part of storm response team, if called upon to help with any and all situations. Utility Design- As a utility designer, I remotely designed proposed utility services to residential and commercial customers. to complete this task I utilized various software programs to design the route for overhead and underground utility lines such as Gas, Electric, and communication lines. I designed these routes with the use of overhead and underground schematics and site plans of existing lines in order to create a route that does not create any infractions or conflicts with existing utilities. I dealt directly with customers to make sure they were satisfied with the process from start of design all the way to the installation of the utility. Lead Field Technician- As a lead field technician, I led a team of 10 to 15 field technicians in the task of collecting measurements and data from power distribution poles as well as street lights using GPS guided laser instruments, handheld measuring tools, and various software. I led this team in various contracted projects including deteriorated pole replacement, wildfire rebuild, primary and secondary conductor upgrade, and street light reallocation.
