Mechanical Engineer In Training

To obtain an entry-level position as a Mechanical Engineer-In-Training with an organisation where maintenance, safety and the environment are valued business objectives.

My most recent position at Ivara Corporation, as Reliability Consulting Intern, provided me with opportunity to work on customer engagements where I could help clients migrate from reactive work environments to proactively planned maintenance. To that end, I assisted in developing and implementing technologically sound maintenance programs focused directly on reducing costs, maximizing equipment uptime, and improving the quality of products and services delivered to customers.

I carefully analyzed failure data in order to select viable mitigation strategies. As well, I utilized common predictive technologies along with my robust computer skills (Word, Advanced Excel, PowerPoint, Ivara EXP Enterprise, and TabWear) to successfully deliver on my assignments. At one point, I was working on-site alongside the project manager to support the rapid implementation of the World Class Equipment Reliability (WCER) program for one of Ivara’s key customers, Arcelor Mittal, the largest steel producer in the world.

I obtained my Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Lakehead University in 2008 and my Diploma of Mechanical Engineering Technology from SAIT in 2005. I offer demonstrated skills as a team player capable of making an impact on the shop floor, in the boardroom, or externally - with contractors and clients.
