Projects Engineering Management

Responsibilities:

• This function entailed interfacing between a small in house engineering team, owners engineering, construction and potential subcontractors. In preparation of scope alignment in making a major award of a future new build of an LNG plant (~250mm) and expansion on existing plant ($70mm). Ensuring that the design phase identifies any operational safety concerns are incorporated into the final design. Also working with in house Environmental and subcontract specialty companies to ensure proper permits are in place with the regulators  Engineers, local and federal etc.) to start construction. In all the above tasks

I build mini teams to tackle the many efforts ongoing, I tracked progress, broke down walls as needed to allow progress, I held status meetings, reported progress to upper management, controlled budgets, set schedules. In some cases as we didn’t have the resources or talents in house I utilized subcontract subject matter experts to assist to completion.
• Management and execution of project from bid proposal to the building of large Cryogenic units. Responsibilities included safety, manpower, schedule, estimating, and building of a project schedule, schedule adherence, equipment, small tools, forecasts and budgets. Included also was all materials required (i.e. small and large bore pipe, concrete, rebar, anchor bolts etc).This Project included 75 % direct hire on all civil/structural and mechanical systems.
• With the remaining scope of work being Subcontracted (i.e. Electrical, coatings, control systems and insulation). This project also had a major upgrade to the plant in going from old copper or microwave systems to fiber integration from utility source all the way through the operation of the plant and control systems, I built a team of SME’s(i.e IT, operations, OEM suppliers) and I was responsible for leading the effort, safety, schedule, costs, forecast and labor to complete this large tasks and make this plant was first in the country to be able to 100% managed plant from offsite location)

Kelly Services

Responsibilities:

• Interface between construction services organization, subcontracts, estimating/ sourcing in working on proposals, building a database of potential Subcontractors to perform the work, and costs for build out of power related projects.
• This was an effort for GE who was always the OEM to self-perform or Construction Manage as clients have been asking for GE to be a one stop shop.
• Instituted project execution plans and standard scopes of work for utilization during construction whether it is a gas fired combined cycle plant, switchyard, new transmission lines or expansion of existing plant or station.
• One of the Projects I was assigned to be the responsible Project Manager on was to eliminate local switchyard control stations, this meant the future of power transmission would be done at a remote station that could control numerous power switchyards and its ability to move power outputs to different lines as power needs dictated.
• I choose teams of people from engineering, IT, operations to in some cases owners to see the future and develop a means of accomplishing this obvious cost savings to the industry as a whole that GE would be the world leader in.
• I built the charter, started the daily, weekly calls, drew out the vision as pictorial so the involved players that would each have input to could better understand the plan. In the time until GE had to make some business changes and cutbacks the project was well on its way and ahead of schedule, budget and actually had improvements that could better improve the original premise as envisioned by upper management from the start. These projects can range from $10mm to $200mm.
