"Jon", M.S., E.I.T.
San Gabriel, CA 91776
OBJECTIVE
My goal is to find a challenging position in a professional environment, where I can develop my expertise in structural design. The ideal position would be one in which I am faced with design challenges, requiring not only engineering knowledge, but also the ability to approach tasks with a high degree of creativity. I am an enthusiastic, motivated, and committed individual with strong problem-solving skills and brief experience in research and project management. I have a great work attitude, and while I enjoy a good work/life balance, I am seeking a career with a structural consulting firm where I can grow professionally and move towards obtaining my engineering licensure.
