2003-to Current:

Andreas & Lioutmila Markou Civil Engineers (Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber ETEK) Office of Design & Supervision of Concrete, Steel & Wood Structures.

Analysing and Designing reinforced concrete and steel structures. Computer support and maintenance. Surveying, worksite supervision.

2007-2008:

George Kolonias Civil Engineer Software Consultants. (contract)

Analysing and Designing of reinforced concrete and steel structures.

Details of the nature of the Job conducted for the two Civil Engineer Offices.

The type of structures that were designed and analyzed were mainly Reinforced Concrete buildings up to 5 stories and luxury residences. The designing and analysis of these projects required knowledge of seismic resistance design due to the fact that the country of Cyprus is allocated in a highly seismic active area. In general my job was to choose the foundation type, create, analyze and modify if necessary the structures frame and finally check and improve its reinforcement.

2000-2005:

Blue Island Pisciculture Company.

Adviser on issues for the improvement of the dynamic behaviour of the under-water structure at the extension of the pisciculture company. Diving to check on the cages, maintenance, reconstructions and other type of under-water work.
