Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc., Monroeville, PA
Mechanical Engineer, June 1, 2009-Present
Lead all purchasing, refurbishment, troubleshooting, and technical
manual upkeep efforts associated with hydro-mechanical differential
pressure indicators, high accuracy pressure gauges, pressure switches,
and pump speed sensors. Includes working with buyers, fleet support
personnel, writers, and other engineers at various organizations.
WVU SAE Baja, Morgantown, WV
Frame and Drive-train, August 2008 - June 2009
Team design experience. The objective was to build a functional ATV
Baja vehicle and compete against other Colleges and Universities.
WVU Carbon Products, Morgantown, WV

Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc., Monroeville, PA
Mechanical Engineer Intern, May 2008 - August 2008
Reviewed changes to vendor drawings and procedures for technical
accuracy. Worked on a team to develop a vendor work scope for
determining the best course of action to correct a design flaw of an
alarm module. Examined and evaluated best alternatives to cadmium
plating of components in pressure detectors due to user health
concerns because cadmium oxide is a carcinogen. The best alternatives
from my evaluations were electroless nickel for intricate parts and
zinc/nickel electroplating for simple shaped parts.
E.I. DuPont de Nemours, Washington, WV
Co-op Engineer, January 2006-August 2007
Worked as a process engineer in compounding of nylon polymers mostly
for automotive applications. Analyzed mechanical properties data from
tests as well as reliability and efficiency of equipment. I led a
green belt project to eliminate bottlenecks in a process so that
higher production capacity could be accomplished. I worked on
programs such as yield, quality issues, qualifying new material, and
updating old packaging equipment. New materials focus was mainly
qualifying new suppliers of glass for GRZ grades to help keep cost
competitive.
