Work History
Civil Engineer
Aurecon
03.2022 - Current
Involved in the design and tendering of major infrastructure projects, including the Western Sydney Airport drainage design. Gained hands-on experience with advanced engineering software such as 12d, QGIS, and Civil3d. Utilized these tools to model complex drainage networks, perform hydrological analysis, and design water management systems for large-scale infrastructure projects. Collaborated on water quality investigations in partnership with Hatch, and Sydney Water, interpret and modelling stormwater behavior and contribute stormwater component using ICM. Conducted detailed water quality testing, analyzed pollutant levels, and ensured that stormwater designs adhered to both local council guidelines and environmental regulations. Experience in the preparation of tender documents, detailed design reports, and cost estimates for various projects. Worked closely with senior engineers and project managers to compile technical specifications, design rationale, and construction schedules. Provided critical input to cost estimation and resource allocation, helping the team deliver competitive and comprehensive tender submissions that aligned with client expectations and project requirements.
Delivered innovative stormwater solutions that balanced functional performance with environmental sustainability. Focused on designing systems that not only mitigated flooding and provided effective drainage but also incorporated water reuse and treatment features, such as bio-retention basins and sediment ponds. Prioritized flood risk management and long-term environmental impact in every design phase, contributing to the overall success and sustainability of the projects.
