Lighting Design Engineer

Alabama Department of Transportation, Montgomery, AL

Designed 480V Highway Lighting Systems. Calculated lighting systems parameters for each different roadway segment so that lighting layout can be designed to meet AASHTO guidelines. Entered data into computer (from digitizer board) so that accurate calculations can be made of the lighting levels and glare ratings with no valid complaints. Analyzed results of calculations and makes required modifications to lighting layout so that the final product meets guidelines and department policy. Designed electrical circuits so that electrical code and department policy requirements are satisfied.

Traffic Signal Designer/Highway Lighting Designer

Ohio Dept. Transportation, Columbus, OH

Produced highway plan sheets (electronic and conventional media) so that they are accurate and complete. Designed and revised alignments and geometry that are accurate, in accordance with established design guidelines and criteria, and completed in a timely manner. Calculated quantities, entered estimates and data so that pay items and information are included and estimated in an accurate and timely manner. Read guidelines and designed criteria so that highway geometry is done in accordance with current guideline criteria. Gathered information and prepares base map of project so that an accurate geometric layout is available for use with all obstructions and pertinent physical conditions shown accurately. Prepared plan sheets so that all necessary data is presented accurately without valid complaint. Measured and counted items on plans so that an accurate summary of quantities and cost estimates can be prepared. Coordinated signal design activities. Responsible for layout and design of traffic signals using computer simulation software (Transyt 7F, PASSER II) and Micro station. Reviewed signal construction plans prepared by consultants and other government agencies. Responsible for the complete layout design of 480-volt highway lighting system within IES, NEC, NEMA, State and Federal Standards. Applied Cad Software from Intergraph, AutoCAD, General Electric, and Holophane for roadway simulation and illumination layout.
