▣ Assessed bids, analyzed project scope, forecasted resources and budgets, negotiated contracts with vendors, acquired supplies and developed work packages and execution plans for several projects over $1M▣ Established KPIs and integrated change and risk management strategies to ensure that completed projects exceed clients’ expectation.Major Project: WATL—Western Alberta Transmission Line Project, $3M, 25+ Personnel, 2-Years Project.▣ Cost-Savings: Cut the project costs by $300K—through the implementation of change management strategies and tracking of all historic RFI, EWR and necessary documentation that wasn’t submitted on time to clients.▣ Workplace Safety: Enhanced teams’ productivity by 20%—through the development and implementation of new safety initiatives that resulted in reduced incident rates and improved safety standards and compliance.▣ Efficiency Improvement: Slashed administrative costs by 30%—by streamlining operations and standardizing documentation and forms, an initiative that was praised by team leaders

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

▣ Designed, assembled and validated a gas and particle emissions measurement system for on-board testing of diesel and gasoline passenger vehicles used in 2 publications.

Nancy, Grand Est, France

▣ Designed a test to model a process in steel manufacturing that removes impurities. Conducted tests to quantify certain phenomena related to an air jet impinging a water bath and analyzed the results to theoretical values.

North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

▣ Designed and conducted dynamic and static braking tests on high-speed trains. Analyzed the results to ensure safety and performance levels.
