Mateo Jimenez
@mateojimenez1
Civil engineer focused on structural design and soil mechanics, delivering accurate modeling and reinforcement detailing for construction projects.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Civil Engineer with solid knowledge in structural design and soil mechanics. I’m dedicated, responsible, and known for strong teamwork, and I’m motivated to apply and expand my knowledge in design and construction projects that help the organization grow.
During my experience as a Structural Design Assistant, I supported structural design for buildings, common areas, tanks, and swimming pools, participating across structural analysis to drawing review, reinforcement detailing, and drafting. I prepared reinforcement detailing using DC-CAD and completed structural modeling under supervision in Midas Gen, RCB Eng Solutions, and ETABS, while assisting with calculation reports and code/standards review.
More recently, I’ve worked for a U.S.-based company designing pergolas, awnings, enclosures, and swimming pools, coordinating with clients and responding to Building Department comments in Florida while applying current U.S. design standards. I also serve as a researcher and thesis developer on self-healing micro-concrete for 3D printing, and I’ve supported students as a Teaching Assistant for Strength of Materials.
