Engineer Engineering
Resume:
Dear Mr. /Ms.
Imagine, Invent, Innovate. Or be left behind. This modus operandi has been the driving force that has helped me
achieve a BSc. in Applied Science in Civil Engineering with a major in Environmental Engineering. Now I
am poised for the possibility of making a positive impact in the position of Environmental Engineer (Specialist)
with your company.
The key courses of my degree include municipal water treatment, geotechnical projects, subsurface
contamination, steel structural designs, costing, statistics and budgeting. I have actively and successfully
applied these in various environmental projects outlined in my attached resume.
These projects allowed me to work in teams and in partnership with local authorities to leverage biological,
technological and chemical strategies to address environmental issues, some of which involved bioremediation
technology, hydraulics, landfill designs, shoreline protection, chemical cleaning and software
applications. These experiences also sharpened my abilities in project management, teamwork, time
management and strategic planning.
Additionally, I have played an instrumental role in two group design initiatives achieving “First Place” in the
innovative civil design of a bridge with deflections of less than 2 centimetres and for the powerful, yet
inexpensive construction of a sling device, demonstrating my passion for innovation and imagination to find
cost-effective solutions.
Further proof of this was when I co-owned a company called Rockport Renovations, invigorating a mix of
structural and environmental engineering to address problems faced by landowners with limited budgets. It gave
me the satisfaction of using my knowledge to help others by successfully executing home improvements,
demolitions, renovations and property maintenance.
Environmental engineering is my passion. So I am excited by the possibility of harnessing this passion for the
benefit of your company. I will contact you in a few days to discuss how I can be of service to you. In the
meantime feel free to contact me at your convenience if you have any questions about the details in my
attached resume.
Thank you in advance for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Nasir Shir-Mohammadi

CAREER FOCUS: ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER
Innovative, solutions focused problem-solver with a passion for the environment
through use of Geotechnical and Environmental background. A fast learner with
imaginative integration of engineering strategies for successful completion of
projects. Energetic professional, thriving on challenges with a hands-on approach.
Works equally effectively alone or in teams, enjoying positive and productive
interactions with all stakeholders to maximize results for client-oriented goals of
advancement, quality control, preservation and damage prevention. Consistently
upholds solid work ethics and integrity in all undertakings with a commitment to
remain at the cutting-edge of technological and engineering advancement for
environmental successes.
PROJECTS
Geotechnical A lab scale dam was designed through conceptual and software
aided design to help create a safe and directed water flow from one side of dam to
the opposite side. It required side slope design, porosity of material, and other
knowledge gained in course.
Bioremediation Employed investigative skills to find ways to remove polycilic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from a contaminated site. Discovered a specific type
of grass which would be able to remove the by-products and examined the site’s
feasibility for use in bio-piles through cost estimations.
Landfill Design A full year project which included the site assessment, soil
sampling, use of different Geosynthetic liners, software aided leachate control
and providing different system to cap the site for a fictional city designed by
Professor.
Remediation Technology Demonstrated effective remediation technologies
required for different treatment process. Different contaminants require different
treatments, have different degrees of treatment success while each has it’s own
downfall.
Cement Stabilization A complete package provided on benefits, shortcomings, and
how it will help to control contaminants. Looking at cases for few different regions in
United States on how it had helped to control movement of contaminants offsite.
