Professional Experience
Bristol Myers Squibb, Wallingford, CT.
2003 - Present
Project Manager 2004 - Present
Manage multiple complex projects and annual 10 to 15 million dollar
capital budget. Developed and initiated several innovative energy
savings projects to comply with the company's energy saving
initiative. Projects included air compressor optimization, deionized
water pump horsepower reduction, boiler feed water pump control, and
air handler fan capacity reduction. Assist with day to day site
operations including the power plant, to continually evolve an
efficient and sustainable facility.
Key achievements:
. Completed several energy savings projects ahead of the
projected completion date to achieve energy savings of
$180,000 per year.
. Designed and managed the utility plant deaerator and
condensate receiver tank replacement. The tank system
was automated using PLC control.
. Redesigned the boiler feed water system using variable
speed drives and PLC control to increase reliability and
energy savings.
. Designed and managed the complete overhaul of the
cogeneration system gas compressor skid. A new control
system and major piping modifications where installed to
eliminate system trips, increased uptime and allowed for
better system control. Energy to operate the compressor
was reduced as a result from the project.
. Developed Black start testing procedure to train
operation and maintenance staff to start facility without
power from the local utility. This testing showed the
short comings of the emergency and gas turbine power
system.
Senior Maintenance / Reliability Engineer 2003 - 2007
Managed the preventative maintenance program for the one million
square foot research facility including the site power plant.
Developed and supervised multiple capital projects per year while
staying within project budgets. Oversaw in house maintenance and
operational staff to continually develop the preventative maintenance
program to insure accuracy. Supervised numerous site wide maintenance
contracts including the site water chemical treatment program, high
voltage switch gear maintenance, and site PLC maintenance.
Key achievements:
. Redeveloped the preventative maintenance program using
Maximo CMMS software to enhance the care and reliability
of the site critical equipment.
. Performed FMEA process to determine proper maintenance
for critical equipment.
CHRISTOPHER S. SIROIS
. Implemented and stream lined several predictive
maintenance programs such as infrared testing, vibration
analysis, ultrasonic testing, laser alignment, electrical
monitoring, and steam trap testing.
. Performed Root Cause failure analysis on failing
equipment to improve equipment reliability.
. Trained the site maintenance staff to perform maintenance
functions properly such as bearing replacements,
machinery lubrication, and rotating equipment alignment.
. Developed and managed the installation of a site wide PLC
network that connected all of the PLC controlled
equipment together which allowed for the collection of
important operational data for analysis. The project
also allowed for viewing the utility plant operation
remotely from any internet connection in the world.
MeadWestvaco, Rumford, ME
1998 - 2003
Project Engineer / Maintenance Planner.
Developed a new preventative maintenance program for the pulp mill and
the power plant using SAP software. Planned and supervised daily
maintenance work for the 15 man power plant union maintenance crew.
Managed multiple contractors for capital improvement projects and
month long equipment outages. These projects included redesigning
pumping/piping systems, upgrading coal conveyor systems, boiler and
steam turbine overhauls. Assisted with the day to day power plant
operations and maintenance.
Key Achievements:
. Redesigned and supervised the overhaul of two boiler ash
conveyors and one bucket elevator with in house
maintenance staff in order to improve reliability, reduce
downtime of the systems all while saving $1 million in
lost production.
. Developed a maintenance and change control program for
non condensable gas boilers and auxiliary equipment to
comply with state gas emission regulations.
. Managed and planned several multimillion dollar power
plant shutdowns for yearly maintenance, equipment
overhauls, and equipment upgrades.
. Oversaw the maintenance program for the steam turbine
power generation equipment.
. Developed new maintenance procedures to prevent boiler
tube leaks in coal and biomass boilers. These procedures
increased the boiler uptime to save millions.
