Shaun Krant

A versatile engineer capable of bringing civil and infrastructure engineering concepts to life through the creative application of CAD technologies, design/ drafting, site and project engineering. While being organised and able to strategise effectively to accomplish multiple tasks.

I am gaining the practical and technical skills needed to work with engineers in researching, designing, and constructing civil and infrastructure, commercial and private projects. With this experience, I am applying these skills towards my graduate engineering program position with CPB contractors, which offers the opportunity to contribute my technical, communication, and team skills while expanding my knowledge during practice.

Collaborative Problem Solving

• Demonstrated interpersonal liaising skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team in various positions within the internal and external teams, sub-contractors, and clients on various projects.

Project Engineering Skills

• Liaised closely with Safety, Environment and Design personnel when planning site/ field works to ensure positive project outcomes, etc.

Computer Skills

• Proficient in AutoCAD, AutoCAD-3D, Revit, SpaceGass, MATLAB, Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Project, PowerPoint).
