Electrical Engineer

Lester_Javier.doc

To whom this may concern,

Good day!

I am Lester L. Javier, a BS Electronics & Communications / Electrical Engineering graduate of one of the premier universities in the

Philippines. Being one of the top graduates back in 2000, I ended up as the FIRST Filipino engineer in Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding

& Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. (DSME).

Having had worked in the Electrical Outfitting Design Team of the second largest shipyard in the world for five years, I have acquired solid

knowledge on electrical and instrumentation design of various commercial and special vessels. Further, I would often have to coordinate

with production people and go onboard for inspections to ensure that the designs and commissioning procedures I prepared were

implemented correctly, and to prevent any potential production flaws.

Moreover, with my one year stint as the assistant to the Exec. Vice President of Production Division in 2005, I got highly exposed to

the actual construction side of shipbuilding from the shipyard management's perspective. I assisted the EVP in overseeing the construction

of the vessels with focus on management's standards, costing, safety and quality. This gave me a glimpse of how production schedule,

vessel quality, yard safety, owner satisfaction and cost efficiency must go hand in hand.

My extensive participation in the design of the projects plus my stint in production management enabled me to learn the various in's and

out's of shipbuilding which eventually landed me the position of Surveyor at the prestigious American Bureau of Shipping in 2007. In

less than a year, I acquired several technical qualifications, thus, prodding the ABS’ bosses to immediately consider me for the post of

project manager. With the Surveyor assignment in Samsung Heavy Industries, I became very familiar with the high shipbuilding standards

of the two of the largest shipyards in the world.

My background then enticed another classification society to approach me with a job offer – this time, as

a plan approval engineer at the

similarly renowned Det Norske Veritas in May 2008 where my knowledge on the compliance of electrical and instrumentation systems of

vessels with the rules and regulations was further honed.

By mid 2009, with my shipbuilding experience on the fields of design, and class survey & plan approval, I was approached by Vela,

the shipbuilding arm of

Saudi Aramco, to assist them on their VLCC project in DSME as an electrical & instrumentation

superintendent. The experience with Vela further solidified my knowledge on marine electrical systems being focused on the installation

and testing of equipment onboard a vessel.

Last January 2011, realizing that I had project & business management potentials and interest, and that I wanted to give back to my

country, I went back to the Philippines to enroll myself on short courses on the said subject. I eventually tried my hand on running a

company which dealt on several enterprises such as property management, service delivery and food industry starting with a capital of just

USD10,000 and just two employees. Just after 1.5 years into operation, the company I founded, Tambayan Station Enterprises, has a

total capital of approximately USD50,000 with annual gross sales of more than USD100,000 and now hires more than 20 employees. As

the company seems to head toward stability under the management of my brother, I hope to continue on my engineering endeavor.

In the companies that I have worked at, modesty aside, I had been admired by many not just because of my in depth technical skills, but

more so, because I got things done, I got problems solved. Motivation, drive for excellence, negotiation, problem solving, camaraderie –

these are part of my main selling points. Several parties involved would often specifically request to discuss with me since they knew that

their comments and questions would be dealt with reasonably. In addition to this, my tendency to develop friendly relationships with people

of various nationalities and backgrounds allowed me to coordinate the workload in a much smoother approach.

Finally, please refer to the following summary of my credentials:

JOB SCOPE: electrical & instrumentation systems design, classification society plan approval and onboard / site survey,

onboard/onsite installation inspection, commissioning, FATs, equipment testing, client vendor yard liaison, test procedures &

technical report preparations, cost/budget management, business process management, project management

SYSTEM SCOPE: Navigation & Communication System (incl. NAV1/IBS, NAUT notations), Power Distribution and Generation

System (incl. Low/High Voltage System), Instrumentation & Control System (incl. Electric Propulsion System), Fire & Safety

System, Lighting System, Cable Installation System

PROJECTS HANDLED: FPSO, LNG/LPG Carrier, Ice Class Tanker, VLCC, Bulk Carrier, Ro/Ro, Container, etc.

TOTAL YEARS OF EXPERIENCE: 12 (10 on technical, 2 on business management)
