Designed paving, drainage, sanitary sewer, and water system in conjunction with each other avoiding conflicts and adhering to client’s guidelines.Analyzed drainage areas; proposed inlet locations; sized inlets, mains, laterals, and channels to carry required flow and minimize impact on property owners.Designed street cross-sections and profiles to carry required flows within allowed slope and vertical curve limitations.Made decisions during design work to meet client design criteria while striving for the most cost efficiency.Performed cost analysis of all pay items required for complete construction of project.

Interpreted engineering blue prints to determine machining processes and tooling needed to manufacture metal parts to within .001 of an inch.Setup and operated CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) lathes and CNC 4-axis machining centersDetermined ideal machining parameters to achieve highest possible throughput.Troubleshot and solved manufacturing issues.Conducted inspections and documented dimensional data of machine parts using precise measuring instruments. Used strong math skills to calculate machining coordinates, angles, reference dimensions, tangent points, etc.

Kept KC-130 aircrafts in peak operating condition.Supervised and performed scheduled maintenance, repairs, and inspections based on number of flight hours, calendar days since last inspection, and cycles of operation. Specialized in preventative maintenance of all hydraulic systems involving landing gear, brakes, pumps, etc. Inspected for structural damage such as corrosion, distortion, and cracks in the fuselage, wings and tail. Conducted structural repairs involving sheet metal/composite surfaces. Measured and rigged tension of control cables. Performed in-flight refueling pod hydraulic repairs. Held weekly tech training courses (and refresher sessions) on safe work practices.Licensed operator of all support equipment (eg: gas and electric hydraulic man lifts; gas nitrogen servicing carts)
