Experience

• Decal project lead Bombardier recreative products · Full-time Oct 2024 – Aug 2025 10 mos Valcourt, QC, Canada As Decals Project Lead at BRP, I supported designers in developing graphics packages for ATV and SSV products, including colour schemes, placement, material selection, and preparation for stereographic press production. I coordinated production setups according to build schedules and took part in recurring cross-functional meetings to adjust priorities based on changing needs. I also conducted laboratory tests and material validations to certify new decal materials in line with ANSI and ISO standards, ensuring durability and quality on vehicles.
• Site coordinator (FIFO) Bluetip · Contract Jun 2023 – Apr 2024 10 mos Australia As a FIFO site coordinator, I installed and repaired marine loading arms for hazardous products such as natural gas and caustic acid, as well as other heavy mining equipment. I assembled complex mechanical systems using aerial work platforms and cranes, strictly following safety rules in high-risk environments. I routinely interpreted detailed engineering drawings to install generator sets and hydraulic systems, ensuring compliance with design requirements and site constraints.
• 3d printing engineer Alstom · Full-time Feb 2022 – Apr 2023 1 yrs 2 mos St-Bruno-de-Montarville, QC, Canada As 3D Printing Expert, I set up Alstom’s first internal 3D printing center in North America to support engineering, maintenance, and industrialization teams. I selected materials based on mechanical requirements, optimized print profiles to improve speed and success rate, and implemented inspection and preventive maintenance procedures for all printers. I managed multiple projects in parallel, from design to finished parts, trained interns and team members on 3D printing best practices, and actively promoted the new 3D printing capabilities inside the company.
• 3D printing intern Alstom · Internship Sep 2021 – Feb 2022 5 mos St-Bruno-de-Montarville, QC, Canada During this internship, I helped establish a new 3D printing laboratory by defining the room layout, researching and selecting equipment, and participating in the purchase and installation of machines. I designed and analyzed 3D-printed components, then manufactured them to support various internal projects. I also maintained and upgraded printers to improve reliability and print quality over time.
• Project Management Intern Alstom · Full-time May 2021 – Aug 2021 3 mos St-Bruno-de-Montarville, QC, Canada In this project management role, I designed and built various train mock-ups, including aesthetic models, volume models, maintenance models, and test benches. I selected appropriate manufacturing processes (3D printing, machining, woodworking, and sheet metal) to reduce prototype costs while meeting technical requirements. I worked closely with engineers and technicians to plan work, track deadlines, and deliver prototypes on schedule.
• 3D printing intern Bombardier · Full-time Aug 2018 – Dec 2019 1 yrs 4 mos St-Bruno-de-Montarville, QC, Canada At Bombardier Transport, I supported the integration of new 3D printing technologies by selecting, acquiring, and commissioning equipment suitable for rail applications. I developed and programmed an automated Excel/VBA database to estimate 3D printing costs based on process, material, and build parameters, which helped standardize quotations and planning. I also trained employees on 3D printing workflows and best practices so they could efficiently use the new technologies in their projects.
• C-series industrialization intern Bombardier Aerospace · Full-time Aug 2017 – Apr 2018 8 mos Montreal, QC, Canada In this industrialization internship, I designed 3D-printed tools and jigs to support the C-Series aircraft production line, focusing on ergonomics and productivity. I identified engineering solutions to simplify operators’ work and reduce assembly time on the line. I also contributed to the automation of certain production steps, helping to improve consistency and throughput.
• Cost reduction intern Bombardier Aerospace · Full-time Jan 2016 – Apr 2016 3 mos Mirabel, QC, Canada My main objective in this role was to reduce production time and costs for the C-Series program. I programmed Excel/VBA databases to automate calculations and data handling, which streamlined several engineering and production tasks. I also proposed and evaluated cost-reduction ideas related to processes, tools, and methods, always balancing savings with quality and safety requirements.
• Mechanical Engineering technician Mercedes Textiles · Full-time Jan 2014 – Jan 2016 2 yrs Montreal, QC, Canada As a mechanical engineering technician, I designed test machines to increase throughput in quality control for pumps, engines, and fire hose components. I created detailed manufacturing and assembly drawings for pump parts, engine components, fire hose couplings, and other machinery elements used in hose production. I implemented manufacturing and inspection procedures to raise production rates and optimized work methods on the shop floor to improve efficiency and consistency.
