Work experience
• May 2020- now: Reliability of mechanical machinery; mechanical engineering intern at
Resolute Forest Products, Gatineau:
- Managed teams of technicians during shutdowns to repair and change equipments (rollers,
pumps, speed reducers, shafts, gears…)
- Created preventive maintenance routes for lubrications of couplings, bearings, oil filtration and
pulleys.
- Inspected equipments during shutdowns and investigated whether they can be repaired or
replaced during the next shutdown.
- Analyzed mechanical drawings to adjust measurements on equipments that have been modified
without a documentation.
- Analyzed oil analysis reports to decided whether filters of hydraulic units need to be changed or
-
if the oil needs to be replaced.
Created work orders, purchase requests and purchase orders on SAP software.
Lead a health and safety training for new suppliers.
Managed a railroad repair owned by the factory.
Planned shut downs by assigning man power of contractors, tasks and dates and organized
them on Gantt Charts.
• May 2019 - August 2019: Internship at Rio Tinto Sorel-Tracy, Quebec in mechanical
engineering:
- Understood how the process of producing metal (essentially iron and steel) works in a factory.
- Corrected a malfunction of a Dust Collector by calculating the flow of air at different suctions of
the connecting pipes.
- Learnt how to solve problems related to thermodynamics by applying an energy balance during
the process of atomization of liquid iron to estimate the temperature of the output iron powder.
- Learnt how to design a small silo to add the necessary quantity of lubricant to the powder by
dimensioning and making mechanical design and drawings.
- Investigated and collected data of the mechanical causes of contamination of the steel powder.
- Managed a team of technicians by updating documents and synchronizing the work between
engineers and technicians.
- Acquired a good understanding of the industrial work ethics and requirements, including
responsibilities, duties and safety measures. Learnt how to read P and ID drawings.
- Wrote technical reports including mechanical drawings during my internship, and made a few
presentations of my work to my team.
