Rijkswaterstaat is de uitvoeringsorganisatie van beleid en regelgeving van het ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat (IenW). Rijkswaterstaat voert, samen met medeoverheden, kennisinstellingen en (innovatieve) marktpartijen, diverse kennis- en uitvoeringstaken uit op het gebied van milieu en leefomgeving, onder andere voor de bouw, het onderhoud en de renovatie van (beweegbare) stalen kunstwerken. Als Werktuigbouwkundig ingenieur werk ik in de functie van Senior Technisch Adviseur Werktuigbouw binnen Rijkswaterstaat en adviseer ik over technische vraagstukken ten aanzien van (beweegbare) stalen kunstwerken zoals bruggen, sluizen en keringen maar ook andere technische systemen.

As senior engineer at TWD I am mainly responsible for: - The technical part of static steel construction design projects.- The education of the engineers within the team.- Bolted interface designs and calculation methods within the company.As the responsible for the technical part of a project I typically:- Perform feasibility studies e.g. load case determinations, load comparisons, stress calculations.- Set-u the technical part of the quotation.- Determine and communicate all technical aspects within the team and with the client.- Co-develop conceptual problem solutions by methodical design; splitting the functions -> developing function solutions -> combining function solutions to concepts.- Co-develop and check detailed designs and detailed design drawings.- Keep the technical overview, guide the engineers and check their calculations.- Join the fabrication kick-off meeting with the fabricator explaining the design and answering questions.- Visit the fabrication site to verify the design with the drawings and help mitigating any problems.- Answer questions asked by the fabricator/client and resolve problems.- Assist during the fabrication acceptance test (FAT).- Assist during the site acceptance test (SAT).- Answer questions asked by the operators/client and resolve problems.As the responsible for the education of the engineers in the team I check their calculations, answer questions and explain calculation methods.As a responsible for bolted interface designs and calculations my goal is to gain knowledge on the subject and to distribute and use this knowledge within the company. E.g. by setting up a bolt calculation template I have standardized and raised the level of the bolt calculation methods within the company.

Designing and structural checking of machines and structures of offshore systems. I am inter alia responsible for the following activities: 4800 [kips] Deep Sea Tensioner SystemI helpt design the basic design of a heave compensated deep sea tension system. Among other the system is consisting out of 12 passive heave compensators. The system is easy accessible for maintenance and the heave compensators are all the same build and easy exchangeable. Because of my innovative reeving design, the system needs only half the sheaves initially planned and has a surprisingly small build volume relative to the high riser capacity. Engineering Work Instruction Pad EyesLack of clarity about the classification, legislation, load testing, certification, numbering, marking and administrating of pad eyes used to cause delays for multiple projects at Huisman and also had the potential to cause downtime during the operational life time of the equipment.In order to prevent these problems from happening during future projects I developed an engineering work instruction for Huisman Equipment in order to correctly and efficiently manage pad eyes throughout all projects. Load testing the 600 [mt] Ball joint and Moon Pool HatchesDuring the commissioning of the equipment on board of the Subsea Seven Rio I was inter alia involved with the load test of the Ball Joint and Moon Pool Hatches. To meet the clients requirements some last minute changes had to be made to the load test plan. In close cooperation with the client, the ship builder, project management, commissioning department and the hydraulic department, I was responsible for the redesigning, structural checking and coordinating of the load test plan.

This project was during my time at the The Hague university of applied siences and done for Fugro Engineers. I fulfilled the role of project manager. Fugro wanted to use synthetic fibre ropes for deep sea lifting unto depths of 6000 meter. As a project team we analyzed different types of fibre rope and modeled their behavior when on a reel with 6000 meter rope capacity. We focused on inter alia: - Friction;- Creep;- Bending over sheave;- Transversal forces;- Fibrillation.Grade: 8

Internship during my bachelor mechanical engineering at The Hague University of Applied Siences. The assignment of this internship was to evaluate the use of hazardous materials in shipbuilding.Grade: 8

Internship at The HydroCruisers I participated in the design of an energy efficient car. This car participated in the Urban Concept class of the Shell Eco-marathon. My responsibilities were the planning of the building process. I had to lay out different possible scenario's depending on actual sponsoring, human resources and regulations. During this I developed and published a new planning method called the Resource Directed Planning Method. Grade: 9.
