Project Manager

Safely and within all environmental compliance laws, successfully complete scope, schedule, and costs of a project.

PROJECT: Boiler Controls Upgrade Project• Completed a formal "Closure Report" that documented the success of this project in achieving a calculated annual savings of $140k per year! The report included all supporting documentation, graphs, and photographs.

PROJECT: Boiler Steam Blowdown Heat Recovery System• Completed an economic evaluation to justify the appropriate return on investment for this project. This calculation included the engineering performance calculations combined with appropriate savings calculations.

PROJECT: DCS Upgrade Project• Built and managed the complete unit outage schedule once construction began. This scheduled included all aspects of the outage and all contractors onsite. The work came about because of the produced quality of the DCS construction schedule.

• Created innovative documentation (e.g., "Scope Tracker", "Action Items List", etc.) along with the standard MSProject schedule and a cost analysis spreadsheet to communicate to the "stake holders" the bi-weekly status of this project.

• Managed a reorganization of the engineering and construction scope of work for the DCS hardware and instrumentation interface to the plant systems. A reorganization was required due to identifying critical areas of insufficient planning.

• Managed the conversion of the existing low pressure mechanical hydraulic controls (MHC) system to a digitally controlled electro-hydraulic control (EHC) control system for the large Westinghouse steam turbine governor control valve system.

• Managed the unresolved determination of the DCS input/output scope by creating a phased approach to the work areas. Successfully managed both primary & secondary material delivery with secondary delivery during the outage.

• Resolved potential critical conflicts between this project and the coinciding major capital project of the SCR installation. Created, coordinated, and used a formal contractual document called a "Boundary Agreement" between all stake holders.

PROJECT: Hydro Power Plant Refurbishment & Upgrade Project• Successfully managed all aspects of this $1.5M project as the project manager providing a fully automated operational generation facility. Completed this project with zero safety or environmental incidents.

PROJECT: Hydrogen Sulfide Incinerator Replacement for Geothermal Generation• Provided expert technical consultation to the client and the engineering team for coordination of the control system upgrade.

PROJECT: Major Utility Plan of Reorganization (POR) Project• Completed a number of economic analysis's to determine the best cost alternative for department relocations to modified service centers. The final result of this analysis was a net present value of the successful alternative.

• Many high management individuals had their own agenda's for the separation and relocation of crew's within the service centers. Successfully achieved cooperation between some strong willed "stake holders".
