  Ground, Water & Environment department Wessex Water (water utility provider) contractStudent Engineer working on a wide range of water related projects including:• Waste/clean water treatment plants• Flood elevation/attenuation schemes• Potable water supply networks (rehabilitation, new installation)• Pumping stations• Service reservoirsI developed my engineering skill base quickly becoming key to the delivery of major projects, taking on computational elements of planning consents, scheme design, traffic management and surveying. I provided professional AutoCAD support and took on many critical responsibilities, producing detailed drawings for a range of projects including Caisson attenuation units and combined storm water sewage systems. I gained valuable communication and management experience organising traffic management through liaising with multiple district councils, traffic management consultants and client’s contractors site teams. Using programming software to manage multiple work sites traffic management permissions and ensure notices are submitted on time.Overall my experience gained enlightened me to the industry and inspired me to go onto further education.

  Atkins

  Jun 2015 - Aug 2015

  Student Engineer

  Ground, Water & Environment department Wessex Water (water utility provider) contractAtkins reached out during my university year, with interest in taking me on again within the same team during my summer break between university years. Inheriting previous responsibilities, I continued my strong working relationship within the design team, with the addition of construction support roles to multiple contractor sites, which I had a hand in designing in my previous stints at Atkins. A new process for me was responding to RFI’s (Request For Information) from the construction sites as quickly as I could. I enjoyed this as it challenged not only my software capabilities but my technical knowledge and communication skills. At the end of each successful project, I used Auto Cad Civil 3D to produce the record drawings which was a higher standard than required by the client, who only needed 2D. One of the most complex projects I drew up in 3D was a clean water system pumping house, in which I drew the superstructure and all internal features associated with the project (pipework, pumps, supporting concrete work). Due to the scale of the contract, there were repeatable designs so I had a hand in putting together the first 3D product library, to enable future designs to be more efficient. This opportunity proved to be more rewarding and I saw more development within myself as I could put into practice all of the learnings from university. Show less

  CPB Contractors

  CBP HEB JVPublic Private Partnerships contract, $1B valueDesign, construct, finance, operate and maintainI worked on all aspects of major road construction whilst at TG, and am very proud to have seen the project from green field to livening. Over 4 years, I gained experience in bulk & detailed earthworks, pavements, structures, drainage, environmental controls, utility management and installation. Some of my proudest contributions include: • being responsible as Site engineer for the movement of over 1 million cubic meters of earth, establishing over 10km of the 27km highway.• being central to the construction of 2 of TG’s 4 major intersections (Whitby interchange and Lanes Flat SH58),• construction of multiple retaining walls using varying construction types, Keystone block, RE, and MSE panel,• constructing some of the project’s largest diameter concrete and PE drainage systems, including a 1.5m dia PE electrofusion welded clean water stream diversion and fish passage.Site EngineerSeptember 2018 – January 2021 (2 years, 4 months)Becoming a • 4km of subgrade construction • Liquefaction foundation treatment within the SH58 paleo channel estuary • Livening of SH58 the 1st traffic switch on the project Show less Junior Site EngineerSeptember 2017 – September 2018 (12months)In my first role in New Zealand, stationed at Toomey’s compound in the central zone (largest of the 3), the Bulk earthworks team consisted of 1xProject engineer, 1x Foreperson, and myself. We managed a fleet of 5x scrapers, 10x 40tn ADT’s, and 10x excavators ranging from 1tn-50tn, with the primary goal of moving earth as efficiently as possible. I was responsible for:• allocating plant to work fronts• daily pre-start briefings• survey set out• on-site testing • H&S • QA. Working across 4-5km of greenfield gully terrain came with its challenges which developed a tight team bond and a sense of collective purpose which I believe is essential to completing any major project successfully.

  HEB Construction

  May 2022 - Dec 2022

  Working for HEB construction I was involved in multiple projects based at Center Port, Wellingtons container vessel and logging terminal. Involved Projects:-CBR Extending the operational length of Hurricanes B&C through wharf reconstruction, rail alignment and mooring bollards. -GIC, New Zealand's largest Stone column project, was designed to densify and strengthen critical sections of the port. -MPI wash bay facility designed to enable efficient decontamination of shipping containers -RFT3 Interislander vessel vehicle bridge widening project Show less -RFT3 Interislander vessel vehicle bridge widening projectProject managing the final stages of this project I was responsible for handling the defects and snagging list. This included painting the existing and new linkspan, Installation of 2 aluminium access stair and platform systems, scaffold erection, removal of temporary works, structural welding and installation of a new clean water supply for the Interislander vessel. Due to being an active linkspan access was difficult, with most works completed whilst the vessels were at sea, so at night or in between turnarounds. An underslung scaffold was designed and installed below the traffic deck to enhance our access, with the rest of the works being completed from boat, barge or EWP. Show less -GIC, New Zealand's largest Stone column project, was designed to densify and strengthen critical sections of the port. The ground Resilience works includes the use of stone columns installing aggregate 26m into the reclaimed land.Managing all construction aspects for the projects includes:Safety management - documentation, compliance with standards, auditing, risk assessments, liaison with client reps.Program management - progress reporting daily/weekly to the client. Cost management - project procurement & Client reporting.Site management - surveying, logistics, machine maintenance, work method efficiencies.Contract management, weekly meetings with contractors Show less -MPI wash bay facility designed to enable efficient decontamination of shipping containersThe 3 pour concrete basin with upstand, has room for one 40 or 20ft shipping container to be lowered onto 6 plinths keeping it at waist height and is secured down by the corner twist-locks. MPI staff then have a safe and user-friendly environment to decontaminate the containers using high-pressure water jets. The dirty water flows through a metal grating and suspended mesh catch-all bag, then into a wet sump and drainage system. Show less
