ENGINEERING MANAGER and PRINCIPAL ENGINEER

Provided leadership to a team of 12 engineers and designers in a

Manufacturing Plant. Was accountable for engineered products and systems

used in Steelmaking, Ironmaking, Smelting and Casting processes.

Responsibilities included:

. Process R&D, product development, manufacturability, maintainability,

cross-functional design reviews

. Shop testing, root cause analysis of failures, enhancement of product

performance, product cost reduction

. Investigation of plant processes, assessment of operating performance,

and troubleshooting of problem areas

. Scheduling, budgeting and control of engineering workload to suit the

requirements of order delivery

Received requests from Operations and Sales, created engineering workscope

and budget, held weekly reviews for status and priority updates, and

redirected engineering efforts as required. Developed and implemented best

practices for tracking and control of Engineering Orders that enabled

reliable monitoring of workload and quicker engineering response.

Directed, reviewed and approved all calculations, analysis and design work

including mechanical, structural, fluid flow, thermodynamics, heat

transfer, FEA, CFD, material selection, component sizing, functional

control specifications, assembly procedures, operating manuals,

manufacturing drawings, shop test plans, and work of outside consultants

and suppliers.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Expertise developed at SMS around the field of Continuous Casting with

responsibility as Senior Design Engineer, Senior Engineer, and Chief

Engineer. Was accountable for safety and successful design, manufacture,

installation and startup of all Casting projects in the North American

market. Direct responsibility included innovative proposals, estimating,

complete design execution, and shop support during manufacture.

Contributed to sales efforts, and participated in procurement, manufacture,

inspection, installation, start-up, and after-market service. Recruited by

CHL in 2003 as Engineering Manager to develop a group of 25 engineers and

designers in the areas of Materials Handling Systems and Heavy Industry.

Was responsible to provide full engineering support for manufacturing

facilities at three Nucor Steel plants. Recruited by Siemens in 2008 as

Engineering Manager to lead the Steelmaking and Casting group. Recruited

by BMC in 2010.

EARLY CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Entered Management Training program at WSC entailing 6 months of intensive

training in the processes and machinery of an integrated steel mill.

Learning was applied on manufacturing design projects at WSC in the Coke

Plant, Hot Mill, Blooming Mill, Cold Mills, Pickle Lines, Electrolytic Tin

Lines, and Electrolytic Galvanizing Line. Recruited by SMS to design

machine components for Continuous Casting Lines. Recruited by Kimberly-

Clark to lead a group of 10 designers and engineers supporting Nonwovens

Materials Research. Later returned to SMS as a Senior Design Engineer.
