As a Project Engineer provide oversight of a multimillion dollar highway construction project coordinating and evaluating production capabilities of engineers, subcontractors, owners and consultants in order to determine facilities modifications. Perform the following engineering tasks and duties: testing of soils and materials for estimation of the adequacy and strength of building foundations, retaining structures, bridges, and culverts; slope stability analysis; evaluation of project feasibility through estimates of the quantities and cost of materials, equipment, or labor; analysis of survey reports, maps, drawings and other topographical and geological data; engineering evaluation of load and grade requirements; planning and design of transportation systems and structures in accordance with construction and government standards; preparation of proposals based on detailed technical assessment and determination of the project’s scope and price; preparation of geotechnical reports.Supervise project timelines, budgets, and quality control procedures while administrating construction documentation to preform cost analysis to evaluate impacts of new systems and polices to prepare cost estimates and to evaluate resources requirements, constraints, and costs. Negotiate research contracts and approve expenditures. Monitor and inspect the work of sub-contractors and other parties.Lead, manage, and coordinate assigned capital and expense project of multi-disciplined nature from conception to completion including implementation of operations and maintenance strategies. Analyze and review operational problems, provide engineering consultation and review operation problems, providing engineering consultation and assistance to troubleshoot and determine fundamental causes of equipment and operational problems. Ensure processes are safe, functional and validated to perform at the design capability and inherent reliability.

Performed as a Project Manager in the Maintenance of Way and Structures (MW&S) department. Led MW&S crews and officers in performing track inspections. Led the maintenance of online roads, yard locations and system gangs. Provided scanning microscope to analyze everything from chemical makeup of rail equipment to defect in tools, rails, and track infrasture. Tested measure the quality and strength of rail welds.Supervised maintenance employees that replaced steel and iron rail spikes as well as tie gangs that performed scheduled crosstie replacement. Also supervised bridge and building gangs that maintained and repaired the bridges and trestles on the railroad.Performed steel rail inspections to ensure their work is correct to prevent possible train derailments. Work long hours to inspect rails, spikes, and railroad ties to ensure there are no potential mishaps. Monitored and supervised welders on the welding processes on the railroad tracks and provided training. Performed inspections, periodic maintenance and repaired railway freight cars. Knowledge of burning, welding, and the operation of heavy fabrication equipment. Supervised thermit welding, this processed joining materials that employs molten metal to permanently join the conductors of the track.Monitored the repair or replacement of worn mechanical components. Inspected rail cars and troubleshooted mechanical issues. Read blueprints, technical drawings and understood service and repaired manuals and applied constraints to repairs and modifications being performed.

As a Project Manager in the Maintenance of Way and Structures (MW&S) department, managed MW&S crews and officers with performing track inspections. Supervised the maintenance of on line roads, yard locations and system gangs, Responsible for the repair, maintenance and installation of the track systems. Learned train and track dynamics, track inspection procedures, construction and maintenance operations to conduct economic analyses to determine feasibility of renovations versus new construction to meet requirements. Communicated with other technical area experts, departments to address and resolve technical issues with all procedures. Managed maintenance employees and performed rail inspections to ensure their work was correct to prevent possible train derailments. Worked long hours to inspect rails, spikes and railroad ties to ensure there were no potential mishaps. Used engineering principles and concepts for the process from design through test, manufacture and fielding.

Analyzed the cost and labor of materials, methods, and the tools involved in the construction or repair of residential and commercial housing, buildings or other structures. Determined the labor requirements and additional workers to meet project deadlines, studied blueprints and examined surface to be covered to determine amount of materiel needed for construction projects.\​Prepared cost and labor estimates based on calculations of time and materiel needed for construction projects.Conferred with personnel, owners, and contractors to discuss troubleshooting issues and resolve matters such as work procedures, complaints, and construction problems.
