Project Engineer

• May 2020 - Oct 2021

During my Co-op with Priority Construction, I was a project engineer/ the main point of contact on two Projects. One of those projects was the removal and replacement of sidewalk and bus pads in 6 different locations throughout Baltimore City. I met with the contractor to go over what needed to be done on the job and the best way to approach in a given amount of time. Another one of these projects I worked on was a stormwater pipe that was repaired with 20 plus cubic yards of grout, to allow the stream to flow without causing flooding in the area. The existing pipe was not functioning properly due to pipe have a 1-2’ hole. This hole and whole lining of the interior pipe was repaired with grout. While working with Priority Construction I was also an assistant to the general superintendent and assisted him by performing take offs on jobs to get an accurate measurement of how many cubic yards would be needed to complete projects. In this position I saw some major projects being completed. One of the projects I over saw was the construction of 180 plus cubic yards of concrete being poured for the foundation under two sets of railroad tracks in a metro station in Baltimore, MD. Another project I over saw was 350 plus cubic yards being poured right before the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD. Also, a large project I saw was the pouring of all the concrete sidewalk and stairs at a new Elementary/ Middle School in Baltimore, MD. Lastly a job I assisted in was the pouring of 18 plus cubic yards of concrete pads at various locations in Frederick, MD at Fredrick Airport. Show less

Structural Engineer Intern

• Jan 2020 - May 2020

During my Co-op with KCI Technologies, I was an intern in the Structure Engineering Department. I worked in the office and took more of a design role. I preformed different calculations like loading that included, dead loads, snow loads, wind loads, seismic loads, live and live roof loads on different structures in various places in Maryland. With the loads calculated I was than able to use the 5 Load Case Combinations to see which one would be best for the structure. I performed these calculations by hand and on different software programs like SpMats and Risa. Another software program that I learned while at KCI Technologies was Revit. I was able to design 3D structures utilizing Revit and reference code books and building code books to assist me in using the proper materials and elements. While at KCI I had the opportunity to inspect a retaining wall in Annapolis, Maryland to determine its structural stability before work was completed around it. I assisted in manhole inspections in Baltimore, Maryland to make sure all the components were there, and that the manhole was prepared and ready for a concrete base and walls. Show less

Project Engineer

• May 2019 - Aug 2019

During my Co-op with Kinsley Construction, I was a project engineer on a $75 million project for a 13-story apartment complex in Towson, Maryland. This apartment complex was construction near Towson University and will eventually help house students that attend the University. The apartment complex is open to everyone not just students. While on this job I was able to see the construction of the 2 Level parking garage and some of level and 2 of the apartment complex. My time on site consisted of completing pour cards for every slab on grade and slab on deck that was poured, this allowed for me to double check that all the different trades had all of their work, like floor drains, fire protection and pipes in and ready before the pour. Also, I assisted in organizing a pull schedule, which consisted of tasks, durations and crew sizes for every contractor that was on site. The pull schedule was designed to help the subcontractors stay on and task and resulted in meeting milestones that were projected. Another thing I did on site was, worked with an engineering team to prepare First in Places and Daily Reports throughout the summer to maintain accountability on the construction site. Show less

Summer Engineering Intern

• May 2018 - Aug 2018

During my internship with P Flanigan and Sons, I assisted a project manager and went around to multiple sites. One of the sites I went to was in Ellicott City, Maryland right after the second flood hit. While at this job site we inspected a storm water pipe under a road that was damaged by a guardrail and only allowed water to flow through about 40% of it. This cause the water to be backed on one end and flood over the road which cause damaged to the road and near by land. Another site I went to was in Jessup, Maryland. The work that was done at this location was constructing a parking lot for a homeless shelter. While out on this job I was able to operate machinery like a bulldozer and excavator to help get the ground to the elevation it needed to be at before placing the stone and asphalt. I oversaw small asphalt jobs like parking lots a Fort Meade in Anne Arundel County Maryland. I assisted in the striping work at the Susquehanna tool bridge in Cecil County, Maryland. Show less

Engineering Intern

• May 2017 - Dec 2017

During my internship with P Flanigan and Sons, I was an estimator and surveyor or various projects. When I was in the office, I assisted others with pricing up MOT, asphalt, and crews for various jobs throughout Baltimore, Maryland in a program Bid to Win (B2W). I learned how to perform take offs on jobs by hand, using Adobe, using Agtek and using a program Trimble. I performed cut and fill in different projects by using Agtek on various areas of land. I accomplished takeoffs on jobs like Taxiway B and the Midfield Cargo Apron Expansion at BWI Airport in Baltimore, Maryland. P. Flanigan and Sons was awarded this job by the completion of my internship with them. When I was out in the field I participated in surveying and learned how to use an automatic level and level rod. The majority of the work I assisted in surveying were various sidewalk locations throughout Baltimore City, Maryland. We look the existing elevations of sidewalks and surveyed proposed elevations to allow the sidewalks to be back up to grade. While at P. Flanigan and Sons I spent a few days in the QC lab taking samples of different asphalt mixes and running them through different tests to make sure they met the contractor’s expectations. I also, assisted in performing patch work throughout Baltimore City. Show less

High School Engineering Intern

• Aug 2015 - Apr 2016

During my Internship with Whitney Bailey Cox and Magnani, I was an intern in the Civil/ Structure Engineering department. While in that position I learned the different types of engineering, specifically what Civil, Structural, and Marine Industrial Engineers do. I also, learned how to use different software programs like AutoCAD and MicroStation. I used AutoCAD to help design some floor plans for a mockup building. A project I was apart of was working with skilled engineers, civil and transportation to outline an intersection on MicroStation that will be in Bel Air, Maryland. While at Whitney Bailey Cox and Magnani I was able to be out in the field and observed field experience like the Pendry Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. On this project I saw rebar being placed, sheets of metal being placed between the water and pool deck and concrete being poured on the pool deck. Show less
