OBJECTIVE

To obtain a full time position as a Civil, Environmental, Hydraulic and hydrologic (H&H), Project Control Engineer, and Project Engineer.

QUALIFICATION SUMMARY

I have had more than fifteen years as a professional experienced civil and environmental engineer in construction, hydraulic and hydrologic (H&H) engineering for construction companies. I have planned and designed various hydraulic/civil construction projects and scheduling projects using Primavera p6. I have employed exemplary problem-solving skills and ability to apply basic and advance engineering concepts and analysis to a variety of water resource and design projects. I possess expertise in modeling tools such as: HEC-RAS (2D), HEC-HMS, HY-8, and many other hydrological and hydraulic modeling software. My major areas of competence include: Hydraulic and hydrological modeling, floodplain delineation & studies, drainage studies & design, erosion control, stormwater management, efficient data analysis, and technical report writing. Also, I have extensive experience working with numerical modeling with COMSOL Multiphysics, CFD software, hydrodynamic modeling, steady and un-steady flow modeling, culvert modeling, and GIS applications in surface and ground water modeling.
