00:00:00.230 --> 00:00:05.900
>> My name is Wendy Burrell, and I'm a civil
engineer at Michael Baker International.

00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:10.120
It's in Moon Township, just about
half an hour away from here,

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:14.340
and I'm a highway engineer mostly.

00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:20.070
I do highway design and railroad design,
which involves everything that has to do

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:26.570
with designing the roads and the
railroads that are around anywhere.

00:00:26.570 --> 00:00:36.240
I do horizontal alignments, vertical alignments,
cross sections, plan presentations, and then we,

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:43.210
after all the design is done, we do a plan
set, compile the plans for presentation

00:00:43.210 --> 00:00:52.590
to the clients, and we compute quantities,
so that we can let the job to be bid

00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:57.320
by the contractors, and they
know how much materials they need

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.000
to order to build the entire job.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:09.240
Whenever we're really busy, sometimes I'll come
in at 6 AM and put in overtime for the day,

00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:14.140
working with the plan sets, getting
them all ready for the clients

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:16.810
and presentation and everything like that.

00:01:16.810 --> 00:01:22.630
It's really not any different from
a non-busy day, but it's just having

00:01:22.630 --> 00:01:26.680
to get it done a lot quicker because
you have a deadline coming up.
