Supported drainage, transportation, environmental, and mining departments in drainage design and planning level studies including: highway drainage, site drainage, area drainage master plans, tailing facility design, 1D/2D hydraulic modeling, scour studies, and construction services. While serving in this role I used several engineering design programs including Civil 3D, Microstation, InRoads, ArcGIS, StormCAD, DDMSW, FLO-2D, SRH-2D, HEC-HMS, and 2-Dimensional HEC-RAS. Taking a strong role in both the drainage calculation and plan production efforts.

Riverside, California

I assisted in plan production and site grading using Civil-3D for feasibility studies and public / private site development. Developed cost estimates for engineering designs and studies. Performed water quality and storm drain analysis calculations.

Lehi, Utah

I worked on projects highway transportation projects in both Utah and North Dakota including engineering design, environmental permitting, drainage design, inspection and plan production. In this position I used Microstation, ArcGIS, HY-8, and Bentley Flowmaster.
