MACTEC Engineering and Consulting Inc., Raleigh, NC
Senior Engineer
* Responsibilities include condition and damage assessment of existing
structures and pavements, forensic engineering applications in
structural evaluations, non-destructive and destructive testing of
construction materials, engineering analysis and design of
repair/remediation, preparation of engineering evaluation reports,
recommendations and technical repair specifications.
* Project management responsibilities, including project planning,
scheduling, and budgeting,
* Performed assessments and served as the designer of repair projects
for public and private clients in the State of North Carolina.
* Provided construction oversight and management for the repair projects
throughout the design, bidding and construction administration phases.
Typical projects include
o Structural integrity evaluations and condition surveys of
damaged/deteriorated structures,
o Non-destructive testing of in place materials and concrete
structural elements for damage assessment/ verification of quality
and construction according to specifications,

repairs following sustained fire damage to structures,
o Load testing of structures with sustained damage/deterioration or
questionable quality,
o Vibration monitoring of healthcare structures for MRI machine
installation,
o Corrosion damage, remediation of chloride contaminated concrete
structures and rebar,
o Historic structure assessments and rehab,
o Forensic engineering applications in structural non destructive
evaluations,
o Finite element design, analysis and stress analysis of components,
Project Management
o Provided, proposal development, project budget estimating, and
interfaced with the clients for review of the scope and budget
