Experience
Stormwater Project EngineerAECOM
- Spearheaded hydraulic and hydrologic modeling for over 15 large-scale infrastructure projects, reducing potential flood damage by an estimated 25% for urban developments.
- Designed and implemented innovative Low Impact Development (LID) strategies for a 50-acre industrial park, achieving a 30% reduction in peak runoff volume and enhancing water quality.
- Managed NPDES permitting and compliance for 8+ projects, ensuring 100% regulatory adherence and avoiding potential fines totaling over $100,000.
- Coordinated with multidisciplinary teams, clients, and regulatory agencies to deliver projects on schedule and 10% under budget, contributing to a 15% increase in client satisfaction.
- Authored technical reports and specifications for stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) and drainage master plans, resulting in approval for projects valued at over $50M.
Civil Engineer (Stormwater Focus)Phillips 66
- Conducted detailed hydrologic analysis and drainage design for a 200-acre refinery expansion, mitigating runoff impacts and ensuring compliance with local ordinances.
- Developed and reviewed erosion and sediment control plans for critical manufacturing sites, successfully preventing sediment discharge during construction phases and maintaining environmental compliance.
- Utilized AutoCAD Civil 3D to prepare grading and drainage plans for industrial sites, improving site runoff management efficiency by 15% and reducing infrastructure costs by 8%.
- Assisted in the inspection and maintenance planning for existing stormwater infrastructure across multiple refinery facilities, extending asset lifespan by an average of 10 years.
- Collaborated on a project to upgrade stormwater outfalls, reducing pollutant discharge by 20% and improving water quality downstream.
Projects
Urban Core Redevelopment Stormwater Master Plan
- Leading the stormwater master planning for a multi-phase 100-acre urban core redevelopment, incorporating green infrastructure to manage projected runoff for 50+ year storm events.
- Developed complex HEC-RAS 2D models to simulate flood risk and optimize proposed drainage infrastructure, reducing potential flood inundation by 30% in critical areas.
- Coordinated with city planning and environmental departments to ensure proposed designs met future growth and stringent water quality targets.
Industrial Facility Expansion Drainage System Upgrade
- Designed and oversaw the implementation of a new 5-acre stormwater retention pond and advanced filtration system for a manufacturing plant, reducing total suspended solids (TSS) by 85%.
- Managed the NPDES permit modification process, ensuring timely approval and continuous operational compliance for the facility.
- Collaborated with contractors to integrate innovative bioswales and permeable paving, contributing to a 20% reduction in stormwater discharge volume.
Regional Transportation Corridor Flood Mitigation Study
- Conducted comprehensive hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for a 15-mile transportation corridor, identifying 12 high-risk flood zones and recommending mitigation strategies.
- Utilized GIS data to map watershed characteristics and runoff patterns, informing the design of new culverts and detention basins that increased conveyance capacity by 40%.
- Prepared detailed engineering reports and presented findings to regional stakeholders, securing funding for critical infrastructure upgrades.
