Idaho Summer Internship













This past summer, I temporarily relocated to Lewison, Idaho to do a summer internship with the Kiewit Energy and Kiewit Northwest District. They worked under the contractor Fluor and Esso to dissasemble modules for transportation to the Kearl Oil Sands Project in Calgary, Alberta. Therefore, we started out with a perfectly assembled module, took out the pipe spools, the electrical components, and the permanent steel to make it ready for transportation.






I worked as an office engineer to create daily reports, owner reports, and sponsor reports. As a field engineer, I worked with the crews to safely and efficiently weld on splice plates and stubs onto the modules.







In my free time, I traveled to Seattle, Washington and hung out with my friends, participated in a mud run, and traveled to British Columbia for a youth Bible camp.
