Associate Engineer - Civil City of San Diego Transportation & Storm Water – Street Division avance@sandiego.gov • Inspecting street, sidewalk, curb, water, and sewer construction projects. With regard to my subprofessional engineering experience in practicing the inspection of street, sidewalk, curb, water, and sewer construction projects: While working with Sammi Construction Co. in 2007; and my job title was an Architectural Job Captain, we were developing the urban fabric of one of the mix-use areas in the city of Erbil, Iraq. My responsibility included the assessment of the condition of the streets, sidewalks, curbs and sewage system of that residential neighborhood and the extent to which this system could be developed as part of the proposed urban fabric. That was required a study of the asphalt condition of the street itself, whether there were reparable damages, an assessment of the functional condition of the sewage system, stormwater drainage system, whether there were drainage problems, and consultation of experienced and competent contractors for the most appropriate and effective solutions to complete those tasks. My responsibilities were divided between social, urban, and architectural tasks. My daily time percentage was about 20% social, 30% urban, and 50% architectural and landscaping tasks. The total length of time I spent in that experience was almost 12 months. The strategic framework focused on developing that neighborhood of Erbil City; suggested fulfilling few improvements to the master plan of that area and to establish baseline information related to the physical, social, and economic context of the site and surroundings. That background information has established the new urban scene, functionality, topography, and existing uses. It has highlighted the current zoning regulations and applicable planning policies, as well as any particularly important opportunities and constraints relevant to the site. • In regards to reviewing engineering plans and drawings experience; With regard to my subprofessional engineering experience in practicing the reviewing of engineering plans and drawings: While working with Sammi Construction Co. in 2007; and my job title was an Architectural Job Captain, we were developing the urban fabric of one of the mix-use areas in the city of Erbil, Iraq. It was important to evolve landscape components in that fabric and to integrate between hardscapes and softscapes elements in order to reach a cohesive design that is beautiful and functional as part of that urban development. We began to identify and diagnose the nature and shape of the land in that area and what are the missing elements in the urban landscape, and what are the needs of the population of that district in different age groups. Their age groups were predominantly young, ranging from 11 to 26 years. They represented the highest age group in the neighborhood, but at the same time we did not neglect the category of adults and elders who need open green spaces, walkways and green ground cover. We have created one soccer field, four multi-game courts that offer paddle tennis court or basketball court. Also, we have created natural green ground cover and seating areas for those whose look for nature environment. The walkways have been created to connect those components to each other smoothly. My responsibilities were divided between social, urban, and architectural tasks. My daily time percentage was about 20% social, 50% urban, and 30% architectural and landscaping tasks. The total length of time I spent in that experience was almost 12 months. RAYMAN DAWOOD Designer & Project Coordinator M.
