PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

GE Power- Water Process and Technologies, Guelph ON 2007 - 2016

Company focused on advanced technologies to solve the world's most complex challenges related to water scarcity, quality, productivity, the environment and energy.

Lead Engineer

Responsible to water system project design, manage time, budget, risk, quality, and coordinate with internal and external professionals i.e. drafting designers, souring team, production team, vendors, and end user to achieve project accomplishment successfully

Designed water treatment process system including conceptual and detail design by using cutting edge technologies, striving for engineering excellence, meeting customer deliverables and schedules.

Resolved complex technical issues and provided effective solutions for the internal and external customers.

Designed ANSI, ASME, API Vessels, e.g., Multi-Media Filters, Mixed Beds and Softeners, mechanical skids, RO skids, UF skids, Chemical Feed skids, UV skids and E-cell/EDI skids. Delivered sound results for our customers.

Reviewed General Arrangement (GA) drawings, plumbing & spools drawings and multi-function steel frames drawings designed by AutoCAD, Micro-station, and Solidworks and to ensure materials were ordered through SAP-BOM system and delivered to the customer specifications on-time.

Reformed the existing equipment and integrated into the new system to improve overall performance.

Reviewed/revised customers’ design specifications P&ID, PFD, and hydraulic calculations to ensure accuracy.

Conducted ISO 9000 internal audit and technical quality management to ensure compliance with legislated requirements and to maintain the company’s external reputation.

Provided engineering support for skids assembly and field commissioning tests. This consultation support helped the Production team meet their productivity deadlines and feedback was very positive.
