• Efficiently managed approximately 15-25 projects simultaneously involving the evaluation, design, and estimation of natural gas distribution facilities. • Produce safe/efficient high-quality engineering designs using AutoCAD, Synergi Gas, and GIS software while meeting important design metrics including install to abandonment ratio, cost per foot, utility spacing, future growth, and risk score. • Prepared bill of materials on all projects and completed more than 50 project budget estimates.• Successfully prepared budget estimates to within +/- 10% of actual costs on approximately 70% of my projects and actively monitored spend during the construction phase. • Completed project designs and documentation according to all company and/or government policies (i.e PHMSA CFR Part 192 Code of Federal Regulations).• Acting liaison to state, county, and local governments for matters involving COH facilities.• Acquired state, county, and city R.O.W permits for construction on all of my projects as required. • Performed preliminary investigation on the environmental impact of my projects to ensure proper precautions are taken on all of my projects to meet and/or exceed EPA requirements.• Worked with our land team to obtain private pipeline easements and to research existing easements on approximately 10 projects. • Acting emergency responder to gas mainline dig-ins, damages, and outages at all times.

• Updated and compiled back pressure curves for over 750 wells which were used for gas storage field models.• Created models of 20 gas storage fields using Synergi gas software and proved the accuracy of every model with percent error as low as 0.2 %. I used the models to complete two side projects involving deliverability predictions during well outages and slated plug & abandonments. • Conducted analysis on the models which resulted in new findings of pipeline bottlenecking and back flow cases occurring in the storage fields.• I performed relevant calculations to support field operations such as volume to kill and sacks of cement needed.• Shadowed storage engineers and crews during field operations (e.g cementing, well logging, setting plugs, killing a well, and configuring wellhead equipment).• I learned about gas control optimization and remote SCADA operations during a visit to the gas control center.• I learned about reciprocating and turbine compressor stations as well as remote smart PIG operations.
