TECHNICALWORK EXPERIENCE
Innergex
Student Engineer
May 2016- Present
 Designed two 15+ meter long weir structures to manage a flow reading of at least 0.01m3/s. Worked
with co-workers to improve design, finalized by performing a structural check on stability. Both weirs
are currently being constructed
 Managed and coordinated project involving researching most reliable de-icing options for two intakes
in two separate hydraulic sites. Handled communicating with external companies and ordering two
major bubbler systems with a cost exceeding $3000.
 Bi-weekly meetings with fellow engineers and supervisor to communicate effectively progression and
new projects at hand.
 Conducting detailed investigation of possible hydroelectric projects in Mexico. Communicating
professionally with Mexican companies, performing analyses of large quantities of hydrometric data
with excel, calculating feasible power to be produced if project goes onwards.
Ladrillera Mecanizada
Project Manager
June 2014- August 2014
 Designed, drafted, and supervised the construction of a small steel beam roof model, generating a
portable and quick model to assemble. Resulting in the construction of numerous duplicates that were
distributed to retail distribution centers for tile presentation.
 Reorganized and improved the company’s catalog list with a customer friendly catalog. The new
catalog is used daily between sales representatives and customers.
 Innovated an installation guide for tile. Surveyed customers by attending construction sites, thus
incorporate present preference and improved on tile placement practice. Installation guide replaced
older version and was published online. ‘

2.  Examined, identified and repaired cars accurately, satisfying 10 customers daily with the help of my
mechanic mentor.
 The owner of the business praised my high communication skills and easiness to get along with
employees and customers.
 Activities included changing the oil, injections, suspensions, motor supports, filters, spark plugs, AC
cooling system
TECHNICALPROJECTS
Civil 300 CBEL Project January 2015 – March 2015
 Designed alongside a team of 4 students suicide prevention barrier for Lions Gate Bridge,
meeting all general requirements for suicide detergents
 Developed complete project plan including work breakdown structure, cost management,
estimate, risk management, safety management, quality management, stakeholder and
environmental management sections.
 Team coordination and support was needed extensively to hand the completed report to the
Ministry of Transport.
Civil 201 Pedestrian Bridge Design Project September 2014 – November 2014
 Coordinated team project designing a bi-directional pedestrian and cycling bridge over a 4-lane
road, finishing with a 44-page report.
 Researched local BC regulations, determining minimum slope gradient, handicap access
regulations, minimum bridge width, minimum railing height, etc.
 Drafted designs on Sketch up meanwhile examining site issues such as underground pipelines,
deforestation and disturbance of nearby residence.
 Compiled a detailed construction timeframe
Civil 315 Pipe & Pump Station Design Project September 2015 – December 2015
 In cooperation with my teammate’s designed a new pump station and supply pipeline between a
reservoir and a community
 Strongly focused on project energy consumption, reduction on environmental footprint and
limiting capital costs, while supplying the community with 99.99% of their varying consumptions
needs
 Applied principles of hydraulic calculations, designing pump configuration with their respective
motors and drives, pipe sizing, energy use prediction and economic analysis
