EXPERIENCE SUMMARY
KBR, INC., Bagram AF, LOGCAP III
December 2009 to Present
Surveyor - Construction staking using conventional and GPS equipment.
WOOLPERT, INC., Dayton, Ohio
August 2006 to October 2009
Crew Chief – responsible for the proper implementation and usage of conventional and GPS surveying equipment in the daily operation of a field crew, ranging in size from one person to six people, performing geodetic control networks, photo control, GIS data collection, interior space measurement, boundary, topographic surveys, and reduction and adjustment of collected data.
At Woolpert, Inc., I worked on several Federal Government agency projects providing ground support for aerial mapping efforts of metropolitan areas and along the US-Mexican border and US-Canadian border. The work primarily consisted of setting aerial targets or determining photo identifiable points for ortho-rectification of aerial photos, establishing ground-truthing/QC points for LiDAR missions, establishing base station points for use with airborne GPS, and determining the necessary geodetic network to meet accuracy requirements. I also worked on a GIS mapping project of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. We were required to map the interior walls of all facilities to a geospatial accuracy of 3 inches. The work involved locating all walls and miscellaneous features including doors, windows, alarm systems, airline ticketing desks, TSA equipment, smoke detectors, baggage claim conveyors, etc. I worked with our software developers to improve the data collection methods and increase productivity. I established methods for performing the locations and trained other personnel.
B. L. PAYNE & ASSOCIATES, INC., Colerain Township, Ohio
April, 2003 to August 2006
Office Manager – responsible for boundary resolutions, drafting boundary and topographic surveys, design of new land development including layout, grading, and drainage calculations, preparing plot plans for building permits of new construction, and required calculations for construction staking.
Crew Chief – responsible for the proper implementation and usage of conventional and GPS surveying equipment in the daily operation of a field crew performing boundary, topographic and construction surveying.
At B. L. Payne, I performed numerous boundary resolutions ranging from simple subdivision lot surveys to complicated, several hundred acre surveys. I also assisted with the design of subdivisions and other land development. For value-engineering, some of the work involved blending field located topography with topography obtained from aerial or GIS sources. The majority of the data was in different datums, horizontally, vertically, or both. Some features were digitized from ortho-photos.
PREFERRED SURVEYING COMPANY, INC., West Chester, Ohio
September 2000 to April 2003
Technical Manager, Field Crew Coordinator – responsible for all scheduling, equipment and software evaluation and purchases, design and implementation of company standards for surveying activities, managing small to large-scale projects, boundary resolutions, CAD drafting, and design and adjustment of GPS networks.
At Preferred Surveying, we worked primarily on highway mapping projects. We were required to integrate our survey with adjoining surveys. This was difficult at times because of inconsistent use of an applied "Project Adjustment Factor" which was required by the Ohio DOT. I was responsible for insuring the projects were migrated properly. On a daily basis, I reduced, adjusted if necessary, and verified daily files submitted by our survey crews. On another project, I performed a boundary resolution on a 1200 acre survey that included several non-congruent parcels of land with a riparian boundary running the length of one side of the survey. Because of some techniques I applied, we were able to cut the man-hours required and use only 25% of our budgeted hours.
