I am experienced in using design software, particularly AutoCAD, DistGIS (ArcMap), PLS, and DDS, to support transmission and distribution design projects. As a former distribution engineer with a large Southeastern U.S. electric utility, I provided line design and field survey services for 4 kV through 35 kV for the installation of new facilities and the upgrade of existing facilities. My specific competencies include customer communication and service, construction unit inventory, route layout, structure staking, distribution design calculations, property ownership research, easement and right-of-way (ROW) acquisition, and route surveys. I also provided field work and engineering support during storm response efforts.
Experience09/2014to02/2016Electrical Engineer/DesignerLeaf Engineers–Berkeley,CA,Designs complex overhead distribution projects in urban and rural environments in compliance with client's engineering and construction specifications, field engineering of project requirements, identification of conflicting utilities, engineering and design calculations, and work permit development.Complies with quality control and safe work practices and maintains compliance with project scopes, schedules and budgets.Proficiently learned 2 new design programs within a week that enabled me to double the teams design output which in turn led to more contract work for Leidos. Trains and assists new team members in designing distribution designs. Serves as a valuable resource for QA/QC of distribution designs that assures satisfaction of clients.Recently did asset inventory work for a northeast power company that involved creating databases to identify transmission structures, lines, and material.Worked many longs hours, some at my expense, to ensure deadlines were met.Currently working on a NERC project that identifies and resolves clearance conflicts with transmission lines.12/2012to10/2014Distribution EngineerLeidos Holdings Inc.–Fort Knox,KY,Manage workload in eastern territory of Tuscaloosa District.Work daily with residential, commercial, and industrial customers to provide timely electrical service to new customers and/or service upgrades to existing facilities.Experience with providing distribution design work that includes overhead, URD, and underground cable/conduit design work in both urban and rural environments.Effectively communicated with customers by first listening intently to their needs before  providing a satisfying solution.Assured cost-per-install numbers stayed down by designing and estimating each customer's  job efficiently and accurately.11/2007to12/2012Technician ISteris Corporation–Concord,NC,Provide timely, professional, and accurate drawings, using AutoCAD and DistGIS, to support engineers and other business needs.Monitor and address storm map packs and provide up to date single line sectionalizing wall maps for storm use as requested.Responsible for maintaining printing systems and supplies utilizing cost effective purchases.Assist with storm restoration efforts and field work.Reduced maximum turnaround time of drawings from 14 days to 3 days within a month of    employment to help meet committed service dates for customers.Learned how to effectively operate 3 large format plotters, a large format scanner, and a  large format laminator in two weeks.time with no prior knowledge or training of either  system.Trained others on how to use the large format systems more effectively which  minimized wasted printing supplies.Put into action a monthly maintenance cleaning schedule of plotter parts that resulted in  saving 8%  of annual operation and maintenance printing costs.Saved 12% of annual operation and maintenance printing costs by discovering a way to use  paper from a less expensive black and white plotter rather than a color plotter.Achieved 100% in call-out response for storm restoration.Contributed to the record breaking storm restoration efforts of the 2011 tornado outbreak by  working 12 hour shifts for 7 days printing and delivering maps to work sites.Supplied nearly  all of the maps that were needed for the Tuscaloosa area and surrounding areas.
