As a structural engineer on contract with Arup, I have been involved with the front-end and detailed design of a concrete offshore oil and gas platform. Specifically, my experience has included:+ Design of reinforced and post-tensioned concrete elements+ Extensive use of structural analysis and finite element software+ Development of large-scale computer models and automation scripts to streamline post-processing work+ Code research, design checks, concept prototyping, validation and design reviews+ Production of engineering deliverables, including calculation reports and technical drawings in collaboration with the CAD/BIM team

St. John'S, Canada

+ Projects: $300 million subsea infrastructure upgrades for Suncor Energy and $60 million offshore pipeline system in support of ExxonMobil’s Hebron Project+ Work scopes included marine foundations, subsea pipelines, geotechnical/dredging, diving and ROV operations, and deployment of large structures from heavy lift vessels+ Used finite element-based software to analyze marine dynamics and establish design loads on structures and equipment. Collaborated closely with structural engineers to optimize design, resulting in potential savings exceeding $700,000+ Produced detailed design calculations, equipment and tooling specifications, procedures, project schedules, and other engineering deliverables using a variety of tools including MS Project, MathCAD, ANSYS and STAAD+ Engineered heavy lift sequences and designed and managed certification of rigging and lifting equipment+ Coordinated mobilization of tooling and equipment at marine base in preparation for offshore operations+ Interfaced effectively with clients, subcontractors and third parties, and was responsible for technical queries and variation orders throughout project

St. John'S, Canada

+ Designed and delivered an innovative work-around for a supply chain constraint; helped achieve gains against the critical path schedule and reduce costs by $250,000+ Supported tendering team by developing quantity take-offs, procedures, and cost estimates, and provided technical input for drafting team in production of technical drawings/sketches/3D models+ Co-authored feasibility study on an emerging construction technology; insights gained from this study enhanced firm’s competitive advantage

St.John'S, Canada

+ Created technical drawings, 3D models, and computer simulations+ Provided on-site engineering support for project mobilization

Churchill River, Canada

+ Implemented project controls and provided in-field engineering support to construction manager during early works program of $7 billion Muskrat Falls hydroelectric development+ Tracked key progress metrics, interfaced with contractors, managed materials and logistics, and coordinated technical queries + Work scopes included: site clearing, construction of access road (with bridges, river crossings, and quarries), work camp, fabrication yards, and installation of utilities and telecom infrastructure

St. John'S, Canada

+ Led feasibility study on the effectiveness of oil spill technologies in cold ocean environments+ Wrote keynote report which presented a decision-making framework for crisis managers and informed discussions on policy at the executive level

Australia And New Zealand

+ Pushed comfort zone, travelled extensively, tried lot's of new things+ Gained hands-on experience in construction, agribusiness and viticulture

St. John'S, Canada

+ Analyzed key environmental performance metrics to identify emerging emission trends of offshore oil and gas facilities+ Supported risk analyses, safety inspections and QA audits

St. John'S, Canada

+ Developed technical drawings as per senior engineer’s specifications; completed mark-ups and shop drawings/as-built revisions using AutoCAD+ Assisted with design calculations and site investigations and provided general office support
