During the summer of 2022, I worked with Green Cat Renewables as an onsite engineering technician, where I gained practical experience in geotechnical testing and analysis. My role involved conducting in situ tests, including plate load testing, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), and four-point wenner resistivity tests, as well as supporting a range of laboratory investigations. I was invited to return for a second placement following strong performance, further developing my technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills within a professional engineering environment.
