Experience
5 years experience as a Project Engineer. Utility Distribution Engineer, with focus in road projects (RGB’s), RGB’s stands for Red-Green and Brown. When FDOT is widening a road they request for us the RGB’s, thus basically RGB’s are a set of plans to show if we have any conflicts with our electric infrastructure. Experience in road widening projects.

Education
 Bachelor degree Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or directly related engineering degree, from an accredited college or university
