Led a team of 5 engineers in supporting and growing a $10m USD global portfolio of custom train-mounted solutions for controlling the wheel-rail interface, where flexibility and adaptability are key in maneuvering the fast-paced, organic nature of the industry.Managed the cradle to grave development process including scope and objective definition, concept.

Burnaby

Designed over 20 new custom train-mounted solutions each year using CAD software (Solidworks and AutoCAD) in translating objectives, incorporating design parameters, and balancing creativeness with cost effectiveness into concept and detailed designs for manufacture.Ensured custom brackets met safety specifications by using finite element analysis (FEA) to.

• Collaborated with the project team to analyze piping flow and process design conditions in order to provide creative, consensus-based solutions.
• Adapted to constantly changing design conditions as a result of incorporating input from multiple disciplines required for the design of the potash plant.
• Displayed a combination of qualitative and quantitative focus during compilation and evaluation of vendor equipment bids.

• Combined structured experiment design with meticulous data collection and problem solving by successfully conducting experiments for determining “chatter” faults of products used on a major Asian rail transit system.
• Translated client requests into early prototypes, iteratively refined the prototypes, and produced manufacturing-ready hardware designs.
• Displayed flexibility through quality control and troubleshooting by ensuring designs meet internal and external specifications while coordinating with production to efficiently utilize fabrication processes.

• Examined work process, logged progress, and reported areas of non-conformance during field inspections of the $600 million Sea to Sky Highway Improvement project.
• Demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of construction fundamentals despite minimal prior experience, and earning the responsibility of individually undertaking quality inspections within a month of being employed.
• Multi-tasked and effectively communicated while performing on-site concrete testing under fast-paced work conditions to ensure structural requirements are met in a timely fashion.
