ABOUT JORGE MENDOZA

With 12 years of geotechnical engineering experience, I have worked on projects involving slope stability, seepage, excavation, settlement and laboratory and field drilling testing. I have extensive experience with numerical modeling applied to tailings dams, earthen embankments, karstic features, wind turbines, open pit mining and power plants.I enjoy working in an enthusiastic environment, where communication with clients and colleagues is part of the daily routine. I am passionate about fostering engineering knowledge and its use in practical solutions. I have experience interfacing between technical and non-technical audiences, especially, making presentations. I enjoy the conception of ideas through development and culmination. As my future career develops, I would like to use my skill set and experience, to mentor and manage technical engineering SKILL & Rock MechanicsGeotechnical Earthquake EngineeringStatistics and ProbabilityDiscrete and Finite Element SKILL SOFTWARE: FLAC, Midas GTS NX, Plaxis, Geostudio, Rocscience, UDEC, PFC, MATLAB, Mathcad, ABAQUS, MS Office, Rhino, SHAKE91, STRATA• PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES: MATLAB, FISH, VBA, C++ and Python• SPOKEN LANGUAGES: English (Fluent), Spanish (Native)• PERSONAL: Strong communicator, problem solver and enthusiastic about mentoring and working on a climbingMountain Biking
