As Project Engineer in the Structural Division, I am currently responsible for executing engineering and design tasks with a high degree of independence, collaborating with my team of staff engineers and drafters as needed to complete our work. I also develop construction documents, calculations, specifications, and technical engineering reports. I coordinate directly with clients from initial points of contact, scope/proposal development, project initiation, and project delivery through close-out documentation.I have thousands of projects worth of experience in steel, concrete, wood, and masonry, and uncommon materials such as aluminum, composites, and cables. Design and drafting is performed in AutoCAD and Revit in addition to many different structural analysis software programs.
