PG&E - Gas Pipeline Replacement Program (GPRP)
During my time with PG&E, I was a part of GPRP. I oversaw 3 distribution gas replacement projects, ensuring on-site crews met regulation and safety standards. These projects seamlessly replaced outdated natural gas pipelines in residential communities to prevent any outages to customers. As a Field Engineering Consultant, I worked with project management to uphold the project schedule and address any design challenges.
