SELECT ACCOMPLISMENTS

. Lead project engineer coordinating the electrical, instrumentation and

controls engineering disciplines during a 3 year $115M plant expansion

project. Through proactive steering efforts, the project had tracked and

was completed on budget.

. Developed site guidelines for safety instrumented systems to ensure all

aspects, cradle to grave, are optimally implemented and managed.

Successfully secured guideline buy in and captured improvements from

operations, reliability, management and 2 other plants within NOVA. At

the Moore plant, over 70 safety instrumented functions where successfully

implemented across 6 different projects using these guidelines.

. Design Lead on a $2M dollar project to upgrade 108 obsolete gas detectors

and a shutdown/monitoring system for an entire plant. Devised a plan to

do field work with the plant running, thereby completing all gas

detectors a year ahead of schedule and under budget.

. Key team member developing capital solutions to improve power supply

reliability to 3 plants. Team efforts resulted in a large 230KV

reliability project being implemented in partnership with Hydro One that

greatly improved power reliability to 2 plants.

. Design lead on 3 major PLC upgrade projects ($1.7M) for a LDPE unit. All

3 projects where successfully installed during a shutdown on budget and

under a tight timeline. A major achievement was developing logic

narratives and drawings for an entire LDPE unit. These documentation

practices are being applied to the entire site.

. Won support for an $835K project (completed on budget) to replace high

"arc flash" risk switchgear. Completed short circuit, coordination and

arc flash studies for 3 plants with recommendations for equipment, PPE

and procedural changes to improve safety and reliability. Avoided the

construction of 3 remote switch projects (?$250K) at 3 plants by

promoting a portable switch that allows operators to switch any

switchgear from a safe distance.

. Lead a major troubleshooting effort for a 2500HP VFD. Power savings with

the unit online are ? $329K/year. The drive was idle for 3 years due to

unstable operation.

. Created protection and control operational diagrams to train technical

staff on protection and control systems for a 230KV/15KV substation.

Leveraged this training with a design team to upgrade several protection

relays and to implement a site wide SCADA.

. Avoided ? $550K of electrical upgrades deemed necessary by the ESA by

changing the electrical area classification in a reactor cell from C1D1

to C1D2. It was proved with actuarial fugitive emission data that a C1D2

classification was safe and meets regulatory requirements.

. Managed all electrical capital and plant support design work for a plant

turnaround. Lead a reliability team in developing a procedure and

implementation plan to overhaul a 200 ton 1100HP motor for the

turnaround. All electrical projects completed within time and budget.

. Designed and installed 2 UPS systems with diesel backup to improve site

power reliability and wrote a corporate wide design standard capturing

project insight.
