OVERVIEW I am seeking a position that fits my well-rounded professional experience in engineering coupled with my strong analytical and managerial skills. My industry engagements in mega projects in several regions of the United States was a multi-frontal exposure to challenging problems and interdisciplinary experiences. The interpersonal skills I acquired over the course of those consulting encounters have further polished my technical knowledge and allowed for a business utilization of technicalities. The more recent academic dimension of my career is a different venue to relay industrial experience as a professional engineer through teaching and research. Lessons learned from the latter should be a transferable asset for handling more complex projects that may require unusual solutions.

INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

Prime Roles:

Writing concept reports Supervising geotechnical design and analysis Monitoring field activities for quality assurance Preparation of geotechnical specifications Writing geotechnical reports and memorandums

Featured Project: Kingdom Tower will form the centerpiece and first phase of the wider $20bn (£13bn) Kingdom City, a mixed-use district to the north of Jeddah Golden. Structural and geotechnical consultant is Dar Al-Handasah.

Prime Roles:

Leading pavement design/build projects for Interstate highway widening Design of shallow and deep foundation Writing geotechnical reports and memorandums Technical review and quality control for Geotechnical Laboratory Special study (Evaluation study on the use of organic matter in levees for USACE)

Featured Project: Larose to Golden Meadow Hurricane Protection Project, Preparation of Preliminary Designs for Six Pumping Station - Contract Task Order No. 5, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.

Tetratech was tasked to perform a thorough professional geotechnical evaluation for the Flood risk reduction public works in the Larose to Golden Meadow, LA Project for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New Orleans District. This work was funded by the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). It is intended to raise the flood wall level by up to eight feet over existing grade in order to accommodate up to 50 to I00-year level flood conditions. In order to achieve this mission, I performed detailed stability and seepage analyses including some sheet and H-piling, for a flood risk reduction design at six pumping station locations.

Prime Roles:

Preparing of subsurface investigation plan Preparing of laboratory program and coordination with laboratory Coordinating with subcontractors and providing feedback on laboratory program Coordinating with client, field representatives and loggers, and CADD, GIS, and gINT teams Writing geotechnical reports (GDR, and GER) and technical memorandums

Ahmad Mousa 3/4

Conducting business presentations and client interviews [e.g. independent technical reviews (ITR), independent consulting board (ICB) and department of water resources (DWR) ]

Conducting and QC/QA geotechnical analyses: seepage, stability, and liquefaction Creating computational customized tools for underseepage evaluation and CPT-based liquefaction

assessment Engagement in preparation of company technical procedures and protocol Collaborating with economists for cost/benefit studies

Featured Project: Urban Levee Geotechnical Evaluations Contract 4600007418, San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency (SJAFCA); San Joaquin County, CA; Department of Water Resources (DWR).

DWR has identified approximately 72 miles of levees that protect the urban communities of San Joaquin County.

URS provided overall coordination and management of the task, as well as the subsurface investigation of approximately 27 miles of levee on the Calaveras River, Stockton Diverting Canal, and Mormon Slough (Calaveras River System). The remaining alignment - 45 miles – are located along Bear Creek and Paddy Creek (Bear Creek System).

Prime Roles:

Reviewing and providing geotechnical data, design recommendations Writing geotechnical reports (GDR, GBR, and GIR) and technical memorandums Preparation of field investigation work plans Preparation of laboratory testing programs Conducting geotechnical analyses Performing in-situ geotechnical evaluation and managing miscellaneous fieldwork

Featured Project: South Fork Willow Creek Detention Basin (Colusa); The Colusa Basin Drainage District of Colusa County; Glenn County, California.

The detention basin is designed to detain stormwater from upper Willow Creek which would be released after storm recede. The proposed earth dam was approximately 70-ft high including 10 ft of free board above the 100-year water surface elevation. The embankment cross section ranges from 200 to 550-ft wide at the bottom and up to 20-ft wide at the top. The total length of the embankment is roughly 600 ft. The detention basin would accommodate up to 5200 ac-ft of storage and would inundate approximately 305 ac during the 100-year storm.

Prime Roles:

Performing site investigation Estimating design parameters from field investigation data Providing geotechnical recommendations for telecommunication projects Writing geotechnical memorandums and reports
