Program Manager. Mustang Engineering at Occidental Petroleum, Bakersfield, CA 7/11 to 12/13
Manage an offsite office and program of 50+ seconded engineers and project managers dedicated to serving the engineering needs of a major oil company operating in California's San Joaquin Valley. Accountable for overall work quality, project performance, human resources, and client relations.
• Successfully turned around a program that was failing and not meeting client expectations prior to my arrival.
• Conceived and led the creation of a checklist based new employee on boarding program to enable new team members to quickly become productive.
This approach was copied to other Mustang Engineering locations.
• Conceived and led the implementation of written job descriptions for recruiting new team members to ensure that their qualifications were a match for client needs.
• Conceived and led the creation of workflow documentation to clarify work processes for employees.
• Conceived and led the creation of consolidated documentation of team members' capabilities to increase our client's understanding and desire to use our resources.
• Conceived and led the implementation of simple checklist based drawing QC approach to decrease drawing errors and improve our client's perception of our work quality. This approach was praised by our client and was copied to two other Mustang Engineering divisions.
• Conceived, designed, and implemented a large multi-user Microsoft Access database for organizing project management information which allowed for program level reports such as resource utilization.
• Conceived and implemented a streamlined timesheet approval process that reduced paperwork and the number of client signatures required.
Sr. Project Engineer. Global American Staffing at KSI Engineering, Bakersfield, CA 11/10 to 5/11
• Preparation of new project proposals for engineered oilfield equipment skids
• Completed hydraulic model for over two thousand injection wells using Pipe-Flo software
• Coordination of six engineering resources for oilfield projects
Validation Consultant. Independent Consultant at PSC Biotech, Pamona, CA 7/10 to 10/10
* Execution of cleaning validation protocols
+ Developed strategy for executing validation of Clean-Out-Of-Place cleaning process.
Project Manager. Energy and Power Solutions, Inc., Costa Mesa, CA 3/09 to 7/10
* Successfully managed $1.1 million energy efficiency project for a Texas brewery.
(New lighting, updated refrigeration controls, updated air compressor controls, new boilers.)
+ 16% gross margin at completion.
+ Successfully negotiated the addition of $100k of scope additions.
+ Designed the new boiler piping—zero problems discovered during commissioning.
+ Client very satisfied. Client requested that I be the PM for a follow-on project.
* Co-developed and project managed a $3.4 million project comprised of an anaerobic digester and biogas recovery system.
Project Manager. Independent Consultant, R.C. Costello & Assoc., Redondo Beach, CA 7/06 to 9/08
* Completed utilities capacity study for Chevron’s El Segundo refinery in advance of major $1 billion refinery upgrade project. Successfully captured information for the study from the refinery’s control system PI database. Successfully completed the report after the lead engineer quit the project.
* Completed upfront engineering and cost estimate for a 3.5 MMSCFD biogas plant for Microgy to be located at a Texas dairy. The process would purify off-gas from anaerobic digesters in to marketable natural gas, and would consist of an amine unit, a glycol drying unit, compressors, and biological destruction of hydrogen sulfide.
* Served as local project coordinator for a large, state-of-the-art biodiesel project for Kreido Biofuels:
+ Process embodied a waterless design and methanol recycling.
+ Also, served as instrumentation manager for project. Successfully lobbied for the transition to digital instrumentation protocols. Hart protocol instruments were used thereafter.
+ Resolved communication issues and scoping issues with client.
+ Developed instrumentation specs for instruments added late in the engineering process.
+ Provided process input to improve maintainability of process.
* Investigated and implemented an online project file management system (Worksmart).
The system dramatically improved project communication and reduced errors.
+ Developed Worksmart training materials and provided training to all project personnel.
+ Served as Worksmart system administrator.
* Designed and implemented a custom MS Access database that interfaced with AutoCAD drawings.
+ Database produced automated equipment lists, instrument lists, and drawing lists.
+ Database also included queries that performed a variety of basic drawing checks such as finding duplicate item tags.
* Completed upfront process design for a state-of-the-art biodiesel project for Northwinds Biodiesel.
* Project Manager for the upfront engineering and cost estimate for 6 biogas plants employing pressure swing adsorption and caustic s...
