WORK EXPERIENCE

National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, Colorado Summer 2004 Research

Assistant Internship

• Gained valuable experience with five types of systems: Active/Direct System Recirculation,

Active Draindown Systems, Integrated Collector Storage, Thermosiphon, Backup System, and

Antifreeze Active Indirect Systems

• Analyzed data and research the five types of solar water heater. Determined what solar water

heater was best depending on the climate.

• Determined what was the failure of the solar water heater that was returned to Hawaii Electric

Company during 1998 to 2004.

Burgess Services Augusta, Georgia- Fort Gordon July 2008- March 2009 Project

Office Engineer –Security Clearance for Fort Gordon

• Contractor to Hensel Phelps Construction Company

• Manager for the Mechanical Division for a Construction Project in Fort Gordon. Mechanical

Division included: Diesel Tanks, Plumping, Controls, and Mechanical Specifications

• Used AutoCAD to make changes that happen in the field

Proficient with reviewing mechanical drawings and blue prints. Reviewed submittal packages,

•

and AHA (Activity Hazard Analysis) sent in from the sub-contactor according to the

construction codes and specifications.

• Developed the scope, schedule and cost control for the project in Fort Gordon

• Managed the daily activities of Engineering contractors which consisted of Diesel, Plumping,

Controls, and Mechanical Insulation contractors

• Managed and coordinated deliveries with four different sub-contractors companies and closely

monitors onsite deliveries against the submittal package submitted by the sub-contractors.

Managed on the job conflicts between sub-contractors. Created different strategies for when

sub-contractors fail behind the schedule.

• Conducted weekly walk through of the building to assure that the building reflect the

mechanical drawings and equipment.

• Used CAD software to make any changes that happen in the field to reflect the blueprint

building changes.

Ennovate Corporation Aurora, Colorado October 2007 – June 2008

Energy Engineer

• Well-advanced with HVAC sizing for boilers, chillers, pumps, motors, fans, lightening and

windows for the rural school and business in Colorado and Nevada areas to make the building

more energy efficient.

• Used Energy modeling using TRACE 700. Experience with doing saving calculation using

previous electric, water, and gas bills based on cost with real local utility rates used in the

models.

• Used AutoCAD for proposal to show the client were there mechanical equipment will be

located in the building.

• Collected and analyzed information which was use to conduct for the energy models. The

proposed design and design performance are then but in TRACE 700. The result will show the

original baseline of the building and the proposed Energy Cost Modeling (energy efficient

lightening, fans, or HVAC systems)

• Experience with Energy Management Systems (EMS)

Strengthening Minority Access in Research & Training Program (SMART)
