  Guntert & Zimmerman (G&Z)

  Jul 2018 - Aug 2023

  In my broadened role at Guntert and Zimmerman, I continued many of the same tasks as I had in my internship but additionally became responsible for training all new incoming engineers and interns. I spent lots of time building connections directly with with customers and industry partners to more quickly resolve problems, and managed new construction projects and maintenance of nearly the entire fleet of bucketwheel trencher's produced during my time with the company. As an Engineering Intern at Guntert and Zimmerman, I assisted the engineering team on a variety of different projects including mechanical design work, hydraulic system design, and I created many technical drawings and procedures for our department. I also worked closely with our manufacturing departments to ensure projects progressed smoothly and to get more hands on experience whenever possible.
