Mechanical Engineering Student | Liberty Formula Racing | Pipe Flo, AutoCAD, REVIT, SolidWorks | Relationally Driven | Aesthetics enthusiast
Today is my last day of interning with DLB Associates this summer. I cannot emphasize enough how appreciative I am of this firm and its people! I learned so much, and was able to work on some amazing projects with my team! I felt so supported by my manager Jaron Deal, and peer buddy Alan Fitts. I would also like to shout out Neil Chauhan and Heather Lombardo for their consistent encouragement and positivity. For most of the summer, I worked on a comprehensive PIPE-FLO model of a chilled water system in a data center. Through that model, I learned about chilled water systems, chillers, pressure, flow, how pumps work within those systems, different kinds of valves, design of a data center, and overall how to solve problems as we ran the simulation. After designing the model, Jaron, Alan and I wrote a report on the model and various different failure scenarios, which are an essential part of design for mission critical facilities. Through the report, I got to work on technical communication and documentation, and failure analysis. Aside from the PIPE-FLO project, I spent a lot of time working on Revit models for data centers as well. In a similar vein as my PIPE-FLO model, I helped to design a chilled water system for a mission critical data center. Revit is an extremely powerful tool that I am really excited to continue learning. One of my favorite parts of engineering is design work, so I really enjoyed my time on this software. Apart from the design aspect in Revit, I also learned how to select and place expansion tanks in a model for certain projects. A few days of my summer I spent working on AutoCAD design for mechanical systems and worked with Trane/Trace for heating loads. Already having some experience with both, it was fun to be able to go back and grow my skills. Along with hard skills concerning software and design, I would also like to emphasize the soft skills that I learned to apply more deeply this summer. I wrote "A Letter to Summer Interns" to share those aspects of my learning with future interns/ Co-op members. That document is attached. It is such a blessing to me to have been able to learn from and contribute so much to DLB this summer. This is the sort of work that feels significant and meaningful. I am looking forward to connecting with DLB Associates in the future!

Delighted to share the successful completion of my HVAC internship with Comfort Design. Throughout this enriching experience, I've had the opportunity to dive deep into the fundamentals of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), gaining a solid grasp of the basic concepts of HVAC. #hvac #airconditioning #heating #ventilation

As all my recruiting contacts in my network know recruitment is not easy… And I find as I get older I am finding that I experience the lows (and highs) more intensely. I often wonder if it is possible to care too much about your job… but I guess that’s just the way it is for me… great to read this review this morning, delighted to have helped this organisation again 😚 #recruitment
Great to read this review this morning from a wonderful client we recently recruited for again within building services maintenance in London. This was a permanent role for a static fabric engineer, apprenticeship trained, with specific fire door experience. This role was recruited for on an exclusive basis. After dedicated time sourcing for the role, 4 candidates CV’s were sent, all 4 were interviewed, and one star of a successful candidate hired, who started this week. It is not easy recruiting within a skills shortage, especially outside of the private sector (this role was for a professional body and registered charity) where the salaries can sometimes be less. However, I knew this to be an amazing place to work, a simply brilliant boss, beautiful buildings and a great all round package. Very pleased to help this client again. #maintenance #buildingservices #facilitiesmanagement #recruitment

If you had to explain the benefits of a skilled trade to a young person, would you be ready? It's important to share the benefits of skilled trade work as early as possible, and the classroom is a great place to start. Kids in school should know and understand what careers are available outside of a 4-year degree, and the skilled trades should lead that conversation. Ready to start influencing the younger generation and empowering them to choose a skilled trade? Explore The Trades has created a library of videos and information on individual trades and their benefits. Dive into the links below to check out all of their hard work ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #skilledtrades #skilledlabor #safetyfirst #tradesman
Looking for a way to bring the skilled trades conversation into YOUR classroom?🔧🔥💡 Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Explore The Trades has created materials all about careers in the plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical trades. From videos about apprenticeships to handouts that showcase the career paths and earning potential in the trades, Explore The Trades has the resources for you. 🙌 Learn more at our website: https://lnkd.in/eKfZgxGp . . . #thankfulthursday #explorethetrades #skilledtrades #plumbing #heating #cooling #electrical #videos #handouts #classroom #materials Nexstar Network

During #NationalEngineersWeek, we’re asking engineers on some of ADOT’s projects to talk about their work and careers. Let us introduce you to Resident Engineer Chris Page, who directly oversees our Interstate 10 widening project in the northwest Tucson area. Question: What sparked your interest in engineering? Answer: I grew up in a family of engineers. My father and brother are both mechanical engineers. So my interest took off from watching what they were doing when I was young. I originally started off in college with a plan to major in aerospace or mechanical engineering. But as I have always been more of an outdoors person and have a hard time being in one place all day, I decided to change to civil engineering in hopes of being able to do more field work. While I was in college, the widening of I-10 through downtown Tucson was going on, and I had the "pleasure" of driving through it every day to and from college. But as I watched the work taking place, I developed an interest in civil engineering and specifically construction. Little did I know that I would end up working for ADOT several years later and eventually managing similar projects. Q: What steps have you taken as your career at ADOT has advanced? A: When I was in college, I was looking for an internship related to engineering so that I could gain more real world experience. I ended up taking on an internship in traffic engineering at a local government. I had no specific interest in traffic engineering, but at that time I really didn't know what I wanted to do with my specific career path. After graduation I spent a short time working for a contractor, then a full-time position opened up in traffic engineering again with the local government agency. After spending a few years there, I had the opportunity to apply for a position at ADOT in traffic engineering. I knew that ADOT had more opportunities to advance and also learn different aspects of transportation engineering. After about a year, I got my Professional Engineer license, and a resident engineer position opened up. I ended up really enjoying construction management, as it really encompasses all aspects of civil engineering. From there the rest is history as they say.

How has the glass industry provided for you? For your family? That is a question I return to often when talking to people about my job. And it’s an important thing to keep in mind when encouraging others to join our industry. It’s not just about the job itself; it’s about the life the job can afford you. For me, the glass industry has allowed me to live in Colorado, where I can raise my family and enjoy the outdoors. For Jacob, a second-year glazier apprentice in the Eastern Washington North Idaho Glaziers Apprenticeship Program, the industry already has afforded him the opportunity to pursue dirt bikes and street bikes. When recruiting young people to the industry, share how your job has improved your quality of life outside of the workplace. For Gen Z, especially, this can be very impactful. It just might be what entices them to become a glazier, an estimator, a salesperson. I always joke that “once you’re in the glass industry, you never leave.” Tell them why… National Glass Association (NGA) CITCWA: Construction Industry Training Council of Washington Modern Glass Company #WorkforceDevelopment #Glass #GlassBeast
