Civil Engineer

Mar 2022 - now

  • Prepared AutoCAD site drainage drawings and supporting calculations under a licensed engineer, reconciling survey elevations, utility conflicts, and runoff assumptions; flagged an elevation conflict for supervisor review before construction documents were issued.
  • Coordinated construction documents across access roads and utilities, checking drawing references, quantities, and estimate assumptions with the supervising engineer; issued a reviewed revision log so field teams could identify which details had changed.
  • Checked grading and drainage calculations against survey levels, coordinated clashes with utilities, and recorded field changes in the drawing revision set for construction review.
  • Owned a drainage calculation check using AutoCAD site-design drawings, resolved conflicting invert levels and completed construction documents for licensed-engineer review.
  • Published site-visit findings using measured levels and material specifications, reduced drawing clarification requests by 20% without changing the approved design basis.

Civil Engineer

Jan 2019 - Feb 2022

  • Recorded field observations and redlines for discrepancies between installed utilities and design drawings; routed potential design changes to the responsible engineer without representing observations as acceptance.
  • Reconciled consultant comments across plans, sections and schedules, checked the drawing revision against the approved scope, and recorded the outstanding site question before issue.
  • Compared a site query with the issued drawing set, checked the affected dimensions with the relevant discipline, and issued a marked-up clarification through the project’s document-control process before work resumed.

Feb 2024 - Jun 2024

  • Maintained a calculation register linking assumptions, reviewer comments, and current drawing revisions. made unresolved review comments visible before the next design milestone.
  • Used AutoCAD and Drawing coordination to compare the source record with the proposed result; documented exceptions, the reviewer, and the acceptance decision before handoff.
  • Used a clearly hypothetical site brief to coordinate a plan, section and schedule; documented dimensions, access constraints and assumed services so another reviewer could trace the same design decision across drawings.
  • Prepared a coordination issue register linking the conflict to its drawing reference, proposed resolution and reviewer; distinguished a portfolio study from permit-ready or construction-approved documents.
  • Owned the independent drawing coordination using a fixed site brief, resolved a dimensional conflict and completed an annotated revision set for professional review.
