INDUSTRY & PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
Field engineering, project scheduling, bid development, and construction administration provide practical context for teaching, research, and student mentoring.
Primary Project Scheduler
Worked with a 31-member Kiewit engineering team on competitive-bid development, serving as primary project scheduler at Kiewit Bridge & Marine’s Vancouver office.
Academic connection: Planning, constructability, coordination, production constraints, and schedule-driven bid development.
Project-Team Scheduling Support
Supported scheduling in a complex public-transit project environment, with exposure to infrastructure planning, coordination, and schedule integration.
Academic connection: Project controls and coordination across a major infrastructure delivery environment. The listed value refers to the documented project scope, not the entire East Link program.
Field Engineer
Field experience on Phase 2, including approximately 4.9 miles of controlled-access freeway with roadway paving, landscaping, sound walls, signals, and related works.
Academic connection: Field execution, documentation, safety, and the relationship between planning and construction delivery.
Field Engineer
Supported work on an approximately 60-foot-long, 27-foot-tall extension at the westbound tunnel entrance, designed to intercept rockfall before it reached the roadway.
Academic connection: Safety-focused infrastructure, field coordination, and construction in a constrained physical setting.
Project scales and roles are reported in the supplied CV. These are professional-practice project values and are excluded from research-funding totals.
EARLIER FIELD EXPERIENCE
Earlier residential-construction work in Tehran included field engineering and project administration, with responsibilities related to safety support, coordination, documentation, and job conferences.
Across these settings, professional practice informs realistic course problems, industry engagement, project controls, and the research-to-practice orientation of the safety program.
