Generating requests for design changes, clarifications, and discussing technical/engineering issues encountered by the construction team with senior engineers. Proposed viable solutions utilizing engineering principles - Solids Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Fluid Dynamics, Metallurgy and/or applicable Codes and Standards for problems encountered during construction. All proposed solutions were reviewed and approved by a Professional Engineer. Some examples include:

• Heat Transfer principles to recommend engineering design changes to piping insulation (R values and insulation thickness specifications).

• Designed various types of structural supports e.g. platform and piping supports needing to withstand specific static and dynamic loads. Variables including, but not limited to, stresses, strains, safety factors, cost analysis and fabrication processes were used during these designs.

• Designed new isometric piping configurations and layouts to better suit field fabrication, installation and operational requirements while adhering to all applicable construction codes. Redesigns occurred when original engineering designs were unachievable to due to installation interferences and difficulties.

• Reviewed lift studies of heavy equipment prior to lifting –CG calculations, crane capacity and load/weight distribution. Changes recommended to senior engineers if problems were found. 2. Reviewed technical drawings prior to them being issued to the construction team including:

• Piping isometrics

P a g e 3 3

• Mechanical rotating equipment installation drawings

• Foundation plans and concrete layouts

• Structural piece mark drawings

Engineer in Training, Acuren Group Inc. May 2011 - Aug 2012 Suncor Base Plant, Fort McMurray, Alberta

As an EIT with Acuren Group Inc., I worked within the Quality Assurance team at the Suncor Base Plant. My main responsibility was to provide senior engineers with technical information and make recommendations to ensure the safe and efficient operation of piping systems, tanks and pressure vessels.

• Analyzing the life expectancies of piping, valves, nozzles on tanks/pressure vessels based on data provided by various NDE methods (radiography, ultrasonic testing and eddy current testing).

• Used engineering principles to determine whether piping systems were capable of withstanding the applied pipe stresses and strains based on numerous factors including pipe material and grade, system pressures, fluid operating temperatures, pipe thicknesses and calculated corrosion/erosion rates. Based on these calculations, recommendations to senior engineers would be made and the development of inspection scopes for the following years would be created based on the criticality of the piping systems; and the probability and consequence of failure. Application of theory included corrosion, fluid dynamics and solids of mechanics.

• Revised piping system isometrics and P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) utilizing AutoCAD. Canadian Forces - Reserves March 2009 - July 2012
