Actual Job Description:

In my actual employment I have been performing the following tasks:

  • Cost Estimate (appraisals):
    Prepared the cost estimate for the subdivision of 129 residential lots. Calculated distances (longitudes), areas, volumes and unit prices for the different aspects of the project, including: clearing and grubbing, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streets, roads, fences, trails, pavement, concrete slabs, the sanitary sewer system, ornamentals, the guardhouse, pavement markings, traffic signs, handicapped facilities, earthwork, storm sewer drainage system, a sanitary sewer pumping station, the access road and the potable water system. Prepared cost estimate for project as one phase, and divided in separate phases.

  • Highway Design:
    Prepared the plan and profile of the proposed elevation of several streets. Studied the rough grading of certain streets by preparing profiles showing the existing ground elevation and the proposed grade of the street. Helped in the design of the fine grading, superelevation and drainage control of the streets within the projects.

  • Storm Sewer System:
    Prepared a plan for runoff control within the project, in order to prevent flooding. To achieve the best design for the storm sewer system, we researched different materials, pipe diameters, slopes, inlet & manhole positions, connections, etc. to be used on the storm sewer system. The rational method (Q=CIA) was used in order to determine the expected runoff flow within the project. StormCAD software was used in order to apply the manning equation and ensure that the expected amount of water would flow properly.

  • Pumping Station:
    Reviewed and revised the construction plan package of a sanitary sewer pumping station at Monte Carlo Resort. The package included a location plan, a grading plan, mechanical drawings, electrical plans, structural plans and architectural plans of the pumping station to be built at the project. Obtained the necessary data to specify the proper pumps to be used at the pumping station.

  • Permits:
    Assisted in the process of obtaining the various permits required for the construction of Monte Carlo Resort Development. Obtained the "Sediment and Erosion Control (CES), the Air Quality Plan (PFE) and the non-toxic waste disposal (DS-3) permits for the construction of Yauco Plaza II, a 20 acre shopping center in the south-west area of Puerto Rico.
    Obtained all the permits required for the construction of a residence in Ciales, a town in central Puerto Rico.

  • Sanitary Sewer System:
    Worked on the design of gravity pipes for the sanitary sewer system of Monte Carlo Resort Development, a project located in an area with a challenging topography.

  • Construction Kit:
    From a 129- lot subdivision project, prepared and drafted a construction kit to build the infrastructure of the first 14 lots to be sold. Drawings include a Title Sheet, Location Plan, Symbols and Abbreviations Sheet, Site and Topographical Plan, Detail sheets, Rough Grading (plan & profile), Sanitary Sewer System (plan, profile & details), Fine Grading, Geometric Layout, Potable Water Plan, and Drainage Plan.

  • Reservoir Intake & Spillway:
    Worked on the design of the river intake and the reservoir outlet of the Northeast Regional Aqueduct, the first reservoir in Puerto Rico to be built away from the river course. Also prepared all of the construction plans of a service road to access the river intake structure. The design included a circular culvert at the interception with a brook.

  • Industrial School Design:
    Worked on the infrastructure design of the 50 acres expansion of Guerrero Correctional Complex in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.
