Paul Arey

I'm Paul, a Chicago native and recent chemical engineering graduate from Case Western Reserve University with a focus on energy systems and environmental engineering. I have experience as a water and wastewater engineering intern at Greeley and Hansen and skills in research and tutoring. I'm open to any type of engineering work that needs a chemical engineering skillset, but have specific interests in the energy and water engineering industries. Hope to talk with you about your employment opportunities!

Greeley and Hansen ─ Chicago, IL

Wastewater and Water Engineering Intern ─ Summer 2022

• Generated pumping and system curves for 5 pump sizes at county-wide sewage pumping station
• Collaborated in the creation of new modern sewer system for Henrico County by performing drop inlet, flow, sizing, and major and minor head loss calculations 
• Completed total lead and copper service line replacement project within Henrico County using ArcGIS data and county records cross-referenced with field observations to create assumptions for the presence of hazardous piping materials; assessed over 500 properties

Case Western Reserve University - Chemical Engineering Design Project for Energizer Holdings, Inc. ─ Cleveland, OH
