North Sydney, Nsw, Au

Worked four separate summer co-op terms between 2008 and 2013. Executed a geophysical exploration project in Madagascar, Africa, responsible for logistics, equipment mobilization, in-field data acquisition, as well as the coordination, training, and supervision of ten local Malagasy laborers. Responsible for the in-field acquisition and interpretation of subsurface data and the writing of technical reports for clients, including recommendations for site remediation. Developed excellent teamwork, leadership and safety skills through working within diverse field teams, including the communication and collaboration with geophysicists, field engineers, site supervisors, slashing crews, helicopter pilots, wildlife monitors and laborers.

Fr

Responsible for developing and validating gas turbine hardware reconditioning processes and providing technical recommendations and risk assessments for gas turbine hardware. Managed gas turbine component information, including component lifetime information, reconditioning processes, and gas turbine hardware field experience. Gained significant insight into the global gas turbine business and the daily business in gas turbine operations, specifically through being a member of a team performing a root-cause analysis and mitigation of a gas turbine failure.
