Fluor Daniel Corp.

  • Dec 1991 - Aug 1993

  While at Fluor Daniel I was assigned to the Hanford Waste Vitrification Project (HWVP) was an extremely complex designed plant that safely disposes of nuclear waste. This required great attention to detail on all levels because some parts of the plant would not be accessible after start up. Worked closely with senior engineers to complete complex mechanical steel fabrication designs and detail drawings, meeting strict quality and drawing accuracy standards.
